Controlling Access
Users with PortalAdmin access will be able to access any of the tools that are available without any need for additional configuration. Navigator widget links will be available under a new branch of Infor Lawson, LSF Administration Tools, for any user with access to one or more tools.
For non-Admin users, access to the tools can be granted on the Administration tab in Role Manager.

Language Translation
For Languages other than English, a Translation Maintenance screen with several tabs is available to translate various phrases and messages defined in the system. A page size can be selected to set the number of records returned and columns with a filter field can be filtered much like filters work elsewhere within Infor Lawson screens.
To edit a phrase or message simply click on the Edit icon or the text under Translation:
When done editing on a particular tab, click the Save toolbar button to save changes for that tab. No reminder to save changes will be presented, but the Save button is only enabled if there are pending changes and each line with a pending change will be highlighted with a yellow icon on the left edge.
