Allowed to Edit Shared Location Items Permission
Table of Contents
Allowed to Edit Shared Location Items is a portal permission that allows managers to edit menu items created by different managers or Portal Administrators.
A Portal Administrator can create a menu item that a manager can edit even if only at least one location is assigned to it. If the menu item is assigned to one specific location then a manager that has access to that exact location can edit it.
WARNINGS
Managers with access to one location MUST HAVE the identical location of the menu item assigned to them. If a manager creates and assigns a menu item to all locations but that manager does not have access to all, they cannot edit it. Ensure as a manager you want to assign the menu item to all locations because editing it later requires a Portal Administrator.
Add or Edit Menu Items permission needs to be turned on for the manager to have this permission. When this permission is turned on, the Edit button (black pencil icon) will appear next to the menu items assigned to the same locations as the Portal Administrator or manager.
When this permission is turned off, the Edit button (gray pencil icon) is for when Portal Administrators or managers add menu items for managers to duplicate the menu item or for those who have the Edit Location Override Prices Permission turned on for the user but cannot edit all menu item fields.
User type permissions can be changed by Portal Administrators under the Users tab in the portal. See How to Update Permissions.
