Maintain program settings for a staff account (3.0.6)

These activities pertain to CCLAS EL version 3.0.6.

Note: The menu Save As, Delete interacts with the individual rows of the record (settings) and these are the actions described in these activities/procedures below. The Save, Save As and Delete found in the bottom of the interface (in gray) pertain to the user (including CCLASMGR). Please be aware of what you are trying to do and click accordingly so avoid any confusion.

Note: Any of these steps should only ever be performed by an experienced superuser.
