Implications
Editing data in any of these options has implications across the entire system and across various security levels.
Please ensure that all of the implications of any changes or updates are carefully assessed before making those changes.
The Side Menu options make up each sub-menu within each Tab of the Paradigm System.
The System Tab and Side Menu Editing options are normally reserved for power users and those with highest level system access, because changes made here have a system wide impact on the functions available from the side menu.
If a Tab or a Side Menu option is set as hidden for particular security level, all of the pages and side menu options within that tab or side menu option are also hidden for all users who have that security level.
