The access levels listed here are with the JOBS_HAVE_MINIMAL_ACCESS config setting in game-options.txt UNCOMMENTED. As the name implies, it means jobs have less access. I am creating this guide around this configuration setting because it seems the most logical. If this setting is commented out, access levels for specific jobs will simply have more access to the respective department that the job is in.

When the console is first accessed, the user will be presented with a screen asking for two IDs to be inserted. The "target" ID is the ID that will be modified (this can be any ID). The "confirm identity" ID can only be an ID that has the "[[Head_of_Personnel|ID]] [[Captain|Console]]" access on it. When two IDs are inserted that match the conditions of the slot each is in, you are able to "Log In" and begin modifying the accesses on the "target" ID. Other buttons on this first screen are the "Access Crew Manifest" button and the "Job Management" button. Clicking either of these will send you to their respective pages, covered further down in this guide.

When an ID is in the "target" slot and an ID is in the "confirm identity" slot (this second ID needs to have the "ID Console" access on it), you are able to "log in" and begin modifying accesses on the "target" ID. Pressing the "log in" button will open a new window with a lot of buttons.

Finally, there are a bunch of buttons that take up the lower half of the window. These buttons are all grouped into 7 sections under the "Access" text. Each section will list an area associated with the name of that section. Clicking any of these buttons will toggle the access and either GIVE or TAKE AWAY that particular access from the "target" ID. You can tell if the access is active on the ID because the button will have <span style="color:#DC143C">red text</span>. If the access is NOT active on the ID, the button will have <s><span style="color:#DDDDDD">white text</span></s> white text.

This is the crew manifest page. This page has a lot of text and two buttons. The text will be in the formed "<crew member name> - <crew member's job>." This page is fairly straightforward: it simply lists all crew members and their job. This can be useful to you by checking to make sure that the department you are assigning someone is not already full with the position that is being requested. An example would be to not assign more shaft miners than there are EVA suits for shaft miners.

The first button on this page is "Print." This button will simply print out a copy of the crew manifest to a piece of paper. The second button is "Access ID modification console." This will send you back to the previous page you were on.

If you want to be a really excellent HoP, you should try to use this page. The actions of this page do not affect anybody currently in the round, however it affects people who join after the shift starts. When a player enters a server after a shift has already begun, the only way they can "play" is to either "Join Game" or "Observe." "Observe" has no relevance, the option we're concerned with is "Join Game." When a new player clicks this, it will display all the jobs they can sign up for on the station. With the exception of Heads of Staff jobs, whether or not the option to pick a job is available to a new player can be determined from THIS page. To use this page, you need only have an ID in the "confirm ID" slot that has the "ID Console" access on it.

This is a list of the default accesses associated with all jobs (relevant as of February 26, 2014. Needs updating.)
