Hello all,

Stephen sent this question via IRC:

(7:19:08 PM) Stephen_: looking for some help on brand/center permissions in
2.1.6 - Possibly simple user error.
(7:19:13 PM) Stephen_: http://screencast.com/t/K2AGUVWYms1

Stephen has two branches set up underneath his head office -  Sample Branch
Office and AAP Sunyani.

Stephen was trying to create a new center for Sample Branch Office but
wasn't presented with this branch as an option to create the center for.

Stephen - as you were suggesting, this is simply a problem of data scope.

The user you were logged in in as only had the data scope for the office
hierarchy of the APP Sunyani and a user hierarchy data scope of loan officer
so that was limited to only creating new centers for that one branch. TH

In order for that user to create the new center at another branch, they
would need to have a wider data scope - to give that user that data scope,
you should log in as admin, modify the user and change the office to the
head office (or any office above the branch level) to widen the scope.  You
must also change their user hierarchy to non-loan officer because loan
officer hiearchy only is possible at branch levels.

This user should now be able to create a center at that level.

For more on data scope, see:

P.S. I must also say that the Jing screencast is quite the handy way to
communicate your issue - thanks for sending along.
