Permissions
PiratePort uses Permission Groups to manage a user’s access to an application. Permissions are granted based on your role within the university. Because of this, your co-worker may have access to an application that you cannot see in your PiratePort application list. Also, if your role within the university has recently changed, you may have lost access to a particular application your new role doesn't require.
