1. Topics

Topics are defined as the modules available on your site. They can be used to limit the permissions end Users have to areas of Risk Management Classic.

There are two types of Topics:

• Global Topics - Default Topics available on your site. Site Administrators cannot create, modify, or delete them but they can edit who has visibility of them. 
• Non-Global Topics - Custom Topics. Site Administrators can create, modify, and delete them, and edit who has visibility of them.  

2. Editing Topic content

To configure Topic content:

1. Click the 'Admin' Topic button.
2. Select 'Topics'.

3. Choose the Topic you want to edit from the list on the left.
4. Click 'Add/Remove' windows (under 'Windows in this Topic').
5. Select the areas that need to appear for the Topic.
6. Confirm by clicking 'OK'.
7. Click 'Save' in the toolbar.

To alter the order of the Topic content, use the 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' options that become active once you have added more than one area. Click 'Save' to confirm the new structure.

3. Editing Topic visibility

You can change the Topic access for many Users using the Admin Topic or for a single User using their notebook.
