2. The user selects the Education heading in the e-Business web menu to open the Education Center.
   • A Web User must be a member of a Web Group that has access to the Education Web Module in order to have access to the Education pages.
   • A Web Group has access to a Web Module if the module appears on the Web Groups record's Permissions tab in Aptify. A Web User is a member of a Web Group if the user appears on the Web Users record's User Groups tab in Aptify.
     
     
3. From the Education Center, a Web User can access:
