Authorization Levels
Access and functionality available to an Authorized User are controlled through Authorization
Levels. The Authorization Levels for a particular Authorized User is stored as a bit mask. The
following are the predefined levels:
- 1 - Read
- 2 - Write
- 4 - Billing Read
- 8 - Billing Write
- 16 - Configuration
- 32 - Billing Administration
- 64 - Super User
Each Authorized User needs a minimum of Read access to login into the BillMax system. The
first 5 levels build on one another. Here is an example of what each level can do. It is not
an exhaustive list.

Billing Administrator is a place holder to create access based on special needs. Currently the Super User level is reserved for special use cases for BillMax support.
Authorization Roles stored in the BillMax List bxroles are a short cut for specifying a set of Authorization Levels that may be selected when a new Authorized User is added to the system. The Value for the List Entry should be the sum of the desired Levels.
