Access Level for Activities gives the system administrator (super-user) the ability to restrict the access level and set up View/Edit access to his/her employees. Thus, the secondary level users or employees can have limited access, whereas the primary users or employees can have complete access to the Activities. (Note: This feature of Access Level Security for the Activities is available only in the Paid Plans. Check Apptivo Pricing.)

This feature of Access Level for activities, gives you the ability to restrict the access privilege of all activities to All or assigned Employees. With this feature, you can allow certain employees/users to access and view your activities.

Now, there are two types of access levels:

Only show activities assigned to signed in employee and their subordinates – The signed in employee can view and edit the activities assigned to him/her and their subordinates. Apart from the assigned employees, you can also give access to specific employees, by enabling the Add Exceptions toggle. Employees added in the Exceptions, can access the activities, even though it is not assigned to them.
Show all activities to everyone – Anyone can view and edit the activities, irrespective of its assignment.

For instance: Consider you are the super user, and you would want all the Tasks you create to be private and should only be made visible to the respective assignee and also to the Sales Manager (Ann Mathews). In that case, you can set the Access Level for Tasks, as explained below.
