Permissions

The following permission must be granted to user:

Access the Delete Preferences utility from the Utilities > Profile > Preferences Utility menu option in OPERA Utilities.

When accessing the utility, you will be prompted to enter a password. Enter the password assigned for this utility and select OK.

Use the Delete Preferences utility to delete preference types from the system. This utility will remove the selected preference types from configuration, profiles, and all reservations with which it is linked. The preferences may be global or property level. The Delete Preferences utility may also be used to convert a property specific preference to global.

Note: Since the deletion of the preference types will require a lock of several records, be sure all users are logged off during this process. To completely remove the selected preference types from the system, you will need to run this utility for both ORS and PMS.
