+==== 5.03. Setting up Admin access to the device Settings ====
+  * To carry out various admin functions on the device, the logged in user needs the appropriate permission to access the mobile **Settings** page.
+  * You will likely //not// want the local users to have this permission.  If that is the case, then an Admin user needs to be configured to have this permission.
+  * The Sustainable Solutions ''Sussol'' is hard-wired //not// to have this permission.  A special Sustainable Solutions user called ''SussolMobile'' can be set up to have this permission.
+In the mSupply Central server:
+  - Log into the mobile store
+  - Go to File > Edit users
+  - Select the mobile user (whom you want to give permission to access Settings - remember, not the ''Sussol'' user :-)), double click it.  An edit user window will open.
+  - Go to **Permission (3)** tab and check the **View/edit preferences** permission on
+{{ :en:mobile:user_guide:settings_permission.png?800 |}}
+Click **OK** to save it and again click **OK** to close **User list...** window.
+<WRAP center round tip 60%>
+Once these permissions are set, the **Settings** button will be visible the next time the user logs in to mSupply Mobile.
