### Function and Function groups

Each distinct action that can be performed within Accentis is given its own function name, for example Sales invoice, Purchase Order or Pay run. By having different functions, you are able to have more control over your data and the way it is accessed. For example, you can restrict the activity of users by assigning permissions to functions for a given user.

Function groups are groups of related functions. For example, all functions relating to customers, invoices and receipts are classified in the Accounts receivable function group. The complete list of function groups and the functions that belong to them is displayed in a convenient tree-format in the Permissions form.
