# Managing entitlements

The FX Professional Motif has a permissions model that controls the user’s entitlements. This model can be integrated into your organisation’s existing permissions system. Alternatively, we offer an entitlement and permissioning system called [Caplin Director](../../caplin-director/index.md). This is fully supported by the Motif and can be integrated with existing order management systems (OMS), and back-end systems.

Caplin Director is a complete user administration system for the Motif that allows you to control how end-users can access your trading application. You can also control what data people receive - with changes that take place in real-time, so you have immediate, granular control over who sees what. See [Director permissioning](../../caplin-director/director-permissioning.md) for information on how Director supports the permissioning requirements for FX.

To implement this, the system supports a hierarchical structure where users inherit entitlements from their parent client as well as any specialisms assigned to the user.

**Director features:**

* Can be used with any existing user management system.
* Instantly disable users from trading, or even connecting to you trading platform.
* Control user trading privileges in real-time when communicating entitlements.
* Make changes that take effect immediately, such as adding users to live systems.
* Specify permissions that control users ability to: stream prices for specific instruments, trade specific instruments and access any available features.
* Carry out batch client onboarding and build custom UIs, using the REST API.
* Conveniently create and administer multiple client accounts for trading.
* Web application provides an elegant, intuitive tool for managing users and permissions.
