Restricting access to freezers

In the current version of FreezerPro (version 5.3.21) the default access level for ANY newly created freezer is full access to everyone. This will be addressed in a newer version of the application.  However, you may wish to restrict access to freezers differently.  To change your freezer’s access level, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click on your freezer
  2. Select “access permissions”
    access permissions circled
  3. Click on the current access type (Full/View Only/No Access) to get the drop down list of access types.full access type arrow
  4. You have the following choices for access types:
    1. Full – other FreezerPro users may access and modify the contents of the freezer depending on their assigned role.
    2. View Only – other FreezerPro users will be able to only view the contents of the freezer and not modify them.
    3. No Access – other FreezerPro users will not be able to access the freezer at all.

    allow access to following roles
    We recommend giving BUMC Administrators full access so that BUMC IT can assist with any issues pertaining to one’s freezer(s).

  5. Once you have assigned the correct permissions to each group, click “save permissions.”
    save permissions
