Incident Report Permissions
Incident report permissions control access to incident reports. When your agency sets up more types of incident report, these generate their own, specific, dynamic permissions.
You can assign dynamic permissions to roles using the Roles screen of the Entity Types maintenance screen for that entity.
See Associating Permissions with Roles for an Entity Type.
The following incident report permissions are available:
