User Differences in the Navigation Menu
The navigation menu displays on the left side of the user's MOVEit Transfer page. Feature pages are determined by the current user's permission level. For example, an Admin user has access to report generation and organization-wide settings. So, when you sign-in to MOVEit Transfer as Admin your navigation menu displays like this:

The table lists the MOVEit Transfer account features available, based on the user's permission level.
A "•" indicates always visible.
- Asterisk (*) = Page is visible when MOVEit Transfer has the required license and when the org-level option is enabled
- Double asterisk (**) = supported if permitted and Secure Folder Sharing is enabled
