How do I allocate Function Roles?

The following video shows you how to allocate a Role to an existing User:

Function Roles are allocated at either a Branch or Site Role level from the Admin | Security | Role Allocation screen:

  • When Function Roles are allocated at a Branch level, a standard set of roles are provided in the system when it is purchased.
  • When Function Roles are allocated at a Site Roles level, a standard set of roles are provided, but new ones can be created in Admin | Security | Site Role (take a look at How are Site Roles created/added? to find out more)

Function Roles are allocated at a:

  • Branch level from within Admin | Security | Site RoleRole AllocationBranches
  • Site Roles level from within Admin | Security | Site RoleRole AllocationSites

The layout of the screens are the same regardless of whether you are using the Branches or Sites page. An example screen is shown below:

The following steps allow you to allocate/remove Function Roles for your Users:

  1. Select Name of the User to allocate the function roles to, using the various search options

  3. Navigate to the Branch/User/Site/Functional Role you wish to modify (select to expand). If this is the first time that you are setting up a User and allocating them to a Branch, take a look at the various options on the right-hand side of the page
  4. Select options from this box to allocate/remove using << (to allocate) and >> (to remove)
