Roles are for determining which screens the user can use under actions and which report they can see under reports.
If you select Administrator role:
- it shows that the Administrator role is allowed to use all the screens that the software offers under actions
- is allowed to see every report in darwin Cloud
checked box means the screen can be viewed under actions and allowed to view a report under reports
Configure a System role
- Click the role you want to configure. For our example the Administrator is the role selected
- Under actions, you may click the items to remove permissions in the selected list.
Items that are removed in the selected list means the user with Administrator role cannot access that page or button. In this example: Banking, Company, Dashboard, My account and System are removed in the selected list.- The items removed from the selected list are placed in the not selected list.
If any checkbox is selected under actions, this denotes that the user can view and click that button. In the example given, People and Properties main menu buttons at the top of the screen can be clicked because the box is checked.
- If user click the People button at the top of the screen, it shows the different buttons under People at the left side of the screen. These are the submenu buttons
- Once user go back to Security > Roles > actions the screen shows that all the boxes under People are checked so that means that for Administrator role, users can click and navigate all the buttons under People.
Another example:
- If user is setting role for Front desk, click that role on right side of the screen.
- Under actions column, uncheck those items that a Front desk normally is not allowed to view.
- User may want to remove the Dashboard > Preferences since normally a manager will determine what board items should be visible for the company
- Under Properties, majority of the screens can be viewed but user may remove the Agent Net List and Agent Net Sell that shows the breakdown of the agent's commissions and the Post button because that is the role of the Accounting
- After unchecking the items under actions that are not allowed to view for Front desk role and that is placed in the not selected list, click the save button.
Every user that has the role of Front desk can now view the items in the selected list under actions and not view the items in the not selected list.
User can uncheck all the items under reports section that the Front desk role should not be allowed to view
- In example, user can uncheck all Accounting items under reports section
- Click the save button after unchecking the items under reports that the Front desk role is not allowed to view
- Items in the not allowed list will not see by the user with Front desk role.
- Under users section, items under selected will show the list of users with the selected role.
- Items under the not selected list means they do not belong to the selected role.
Under Companies section, it will only be relevant if the darwin Cloud user owns multiple companies. From the example, it shows that the user owns multiple companies.
