Employee Roles

There are two types of user roles: Client Admin and Employee. Note that each user can only have one role.

ROLE TYPE	ACCESS LEVEL	DESCRIPTION
Client Admin	User access is extended to everything within their client profile.	This role provides access to everything. Therefore, the permissions for this role can never be edited and are locked by design. This role manages the permissions for users who have the Employee role.
Employee	User access is limited to the permissions that the Client Admin has granted to them.	Permissions are designed for this role. The Client Admin can create security templates that can be used to apply the same permissions to multiple employees.

Employee Permissions

Permissions are set on an Employee level by Client Admins. To access Permissions:

1. Go to Settings > Employees > Manage Employees.

2. Select an Employee > Toolbox > Permissions.

3. Click Edit to adjust the permissions as needed.

   

On each page tab, you will find the following icons: View, Create, Edit, and Delete. Hovering over any of these icons will reveal their corresponding names. These icons serve as indicators for the available permissions, which can be set by checking the checkboxes located beneath them.

Types of Permissions

There are three components to a user’s permissions:

• Role type – The level of access (Client Admin or Employee).

• Permission type – This specifies the tasks – View, Edit, Create, Delete, or Advanced – that a user is permitted to perform on a given entity:

• Entity – A data structure, and its related functionality. Examples of entities include:

  1. Set Physical Inventory

  2. Perform SKU To SKU Transfers

  3. Change Weights And Dimensions

  4. Inventory Arrivals

Each entity has up to five potential permission types:

PERMISSION TYPE	ACTION(S)
View	Users can see entity-related data. This is the lowest level of permission.
Edit	Users can make changes to an existing entity member (fields, statuses, etc.).
Create	Users can create a member of the entity. For example, if a user has Create rights for Catalog, they can create a product.
Delete	Users can delete a member of an entity.
Advanced Permissions	These are specific, entity-related tools or actions that a Client Admin may want to restrict from certain employees. Not all entities have Advanced Permissions.

Add New Permissions to an Employee

A Client Admin can set permissions for each entity and choose the companies to which the permissions apply. To grant permissions to an employee for areas they currently do not have access to, proceed as follows:

1. Go to Employees > Manage Employees > Click the employee’s ID > Toolbox > Permissions > Edit.

2. You can click on the employee’s Role dropdown > Select Client Admin to grant permissions to the entire system > Save.

3. From the top-right icon of the General panel, you can select the entities that the Employee can access.

   

4. On the For Company panel, you can select which companies the selected Employee can access. Note that the Client Admin can only define one set of entity permissions per user, which they can then apply to different companies for that user.

Manage Security Templates

Users with a Client Admin role can create security templates that define a complete set of permissions. These templates can then be easily applied to any employee from the Employee Details page.

There are two ways to create a security template: create an entirely new one, or save an employee’s permissions as a new template.

Create a New Template

1. Go to Employees > Manage Security Templates, and click on the Add icon at the lower right-hand corner to create a template.

2. Optional: Click on the Copy From dropdown to choose an existing template’s permissions.

   

3. Click Next and apply your desired permissions.

4. Click Create.

Save Security Templates

You can save security templates based on specific permissions granted to an employee:

1. Navigate to the Employee Details page.

2. Click Edit to make the necessary adjustments, if applicable.

3. Save.

   1. As a Custom profile – saves the settings as a unique profile specific to this user.

   2. As a New Template – saves the profile as a Security Settings Template which can be assigned to multiple users.
