When a user is added to the TMS, they are a default user. This default user only has three icons in the blue left navigation bar: Home, Product Catalog, and Request Management. Default users will not see the Directory, Contracts, Reports, or Settings icons.
As special permissions are assigned to a user, additional icons will become available so that they can access the areas they've been given permission to access.
Below shows how the main screen varies for a default user (often a teacher) and a TMS administrator -- primarily in the Home page, the additional navigation icons, and the Settings icon.
