Edit user type

One must have the system role “System role administrator” to be able to make changes to the page.

Note 1: Be very careful when you make changes to the user type you are logged in with. It may be impossible to reverse your changes if you change the wrong access, for example if you take away your own user type’s access to the Admin tab.

Note 2. All changes done to user types will take effect immediately for all users who are logged in with that user type, with the exception of tabs of the top level. The page needs to be reloaded to see changes there. This can be done for example by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard.
