When users rights are activated, we advise you to be careful while creating new departments.
Indeed, you could be surprised loosing access to some departments if you are not aware of the way PlanningPME behave.

Because by default, on the users rights settings, the new department created will not be selected which means that Mary now do not have access to all departments!
How to give access to all departments to my users?
You need to check the new department created on all users profile (Menu Data -> User). This setting can take some time if you created a lot of users!

Only advanced users should be allowed to have the possibility to create a new department when users rights are activated!
So, we advise you to create a group (Menu Data -> Group) who do not have the right to add departments:
