The Department refers to the department that the user is assigned to.  Some license types may have access limited to their own department.

Each license type is listed on a single row. The columns headers refer to the area of the software system. The intersection describes the type of access that the user license type has for the feature.

Other Types

Read/Write Own Department: The user can read and write all data input in this area and assigned to their department or below.
No Access: The user does not have access to this feature.
