  • The permissions in Mange Document Generation Templates under User Permissions is strictly for only generation from the Take Action in PP3 People Profile screens.
  • It does not govern the generate permission for the Document Generation - Generate Document tool in Admin Centre.
  • A user who has the Generate All Documents as Admin permission in Manage Document Generation under Administrator Permissions will be able to generate any document from the Document Generation - Generate Document tool in Admin Centre.
  • This is applicable even if they don't have permission to generate the corresponding template in the User Permissions section.
