Location Restrictions

You can further restrict NextGen® Enterprise PM user actions in non-preferred locations by removing some practice-level security rights that were previously granted to a user. The removal of security applies to the user only at his or her non-preferred locations. For example, John was granted the Charge Entry permission for his security group, but Charge Entry is now disabled for him on the Loc. Restrict tab.
