Departments
How departments, ranks and department roles give members their access.
Departments are how members get access in Statewide. A seat in a department gives the member that department's rank, and the rank's role carries the permissions. Police, fire, EMS and dispatch departments sign on to the MDT; the others use the member portal.
Manage departments in CMS, Departments. Who can do what: Reference › Permissions.
