How to Configure a View Only Web Process Template
Overview
Boston Campus students are permitted to view space on the Space & Resource Reservation System (VEMS) but they are not permitted to request space through the system. Because EMS is designed to enable users to request space, a work around was required to restrict a user’s access to view space.
This document describes the web process template configuration to restrict a user’s access to View Only (preventing the user from using the system to request space). Users assigned to templates with this configuration will receive the error message below if they submit a space request:
"The date(s) you requested violates your last allowed booking date"
Dependencies
- View Only Web Process template created by EMS technical support (via TechConnect)
- Authorized Web User (i.e. VEMS user) assigned to a “View Only” Web Process template
