How to Manage Job Roles and Users
Managing users and roles effectively ensures operational continuity and security within the system.
Key Takeaways
-
Tasks are assigned to job roles rather than individuals, allowing any qualified staff member assigned to that role to complete the necessary work even if a specific person is absent.
-
Job roles are established within the Job Roles Data Sources section, and individual users can be associated with multiple roles depending on their responsibilities.
-
When onboarding a new team, user profiles are created by entering a name, email, and associated roles.
-
For security and simplicity, administrators assign a temporary complex password, but the final account activation is handled by the user through the "forgot password" function.
-
For offboarding, the system distinguishes between disabling an account—which prevents login during extended leave—and deleting a user, which removes them from the active system while preserving their name in historical submission data
"How-To" Guide: User Management Basics
Adding a New User
- Navigate to the User Management section in the left-hand menu.
- Select the option to create a new user profile.
- Enter the staff member's Name and Email Address.
- Select all Job Roles that apply to this individual.
- Enter a complex, random password to finalize the profile creation.
Activating Staff Accounts
- Once the profile is created, instruct the staff member to go to the login screen.
- Have them click the "Forgot Password" function.
- The user will follow the prompts to set their own private password and activate their account.
Managing Departures and Leave
- For Extended Leave: Select the Disable option. This keeps the account settings intact but prevents the user from logging in.
- For Permanent Removal: Select the Delete option. This removes the user from the system entirely. Note that their name will remain attached to all historic submission data for audit purposes
