Contact Log and Tool RightsAll rights to Student Information > General > Contact Log and Census > People > Contact Log do NOT allow access to add a contact log record. It only displays the Contact Log tool, but no existing records are visible.
RWAD rights are NOT cumulative. A user who has no access subrights to Counseling, but does have RW rights to Health allows the viewing and editing of Health contact log records another user created.
Assigning access subrights WITHOUT enabling rights to the parent Contact Log module tool right automatically assume R rights for that parent right.
