Security
Access to PermitCity is defined by roles. These roles are coupled with workflow processes as well as various ‘permissions’, all of which are configurable through built-in administrative tools.  A user must be assigned the appropriate role in order to carry out tasks within PermitCity.

Additionally, PermitSoft keeps an audit trail of access to the records using a combination of user identification on the record level, as well as web server logs which can determine who was accessing which pages.
