How to create and manage Roles

Why use Roles?

Roles are a descriptor you can associate to specific people to give them specific permissions. 

Default Roles

Administrator: Has access to view and do everything,

Manager: You’ll want to give them specific permissions, like View list of employees I’m managing. 

Employee: You’ll want to restrict permissions here. For instance, View Assign and revoke licenses to participants.

Note: By default, every person in the Applauz will be an Employee.

Creating new roles 

At any point, you can create a new role. For instance, for Finance. Being that Finance would only need access to the Finance reports, you could easily create that Role by:

  1. Click on Employees

  2. Click on Roles
  3. Click on + New Role at the top right-hand side

  4. Add the English and French (optional) nomenclature 

Managing Permissions for Roles

Note: When going through the list, unless explicitly written, ‘’Employees I manage’’, the permission allows each person associated to that Role access to ALL the information related to that permission. For example: giving access to ‘’View employee information,’’ means that every employee in that Role has access to view every employee's information.

Note: All employees will have access to view their own profile, and edit and delete their own Recognitions and Posts. These permissions are set by default and cannot be changed.

  1. Select a created Role

  2. Click on Edit Permissions

  3. Click on the switch to activate (blue) or deactivate (grey) a permission. Changes are saved automatically

Adding employees to specific Roles

  1. Click on an employee’s name

  2. Once you see them in the right hand column, click on Select

  3. Click on Sumbit to finalize changes
