Last updated August 9, 2024
Creating and managing user roles and permissions within CredibleSoft is essential for maintaining security and ensuring that each user has the appropriate access to data, features, and functionalities within the platform. This article outlines the process for managing user roles and permissions.
Understanding User Roles:
- Admin Role: The admin role has full access to all aspects of the CredibleSoft platform, including managing users, modifying settings, and controlling permissions.
- Manager Role: Managers may have access to specific sections or modules of CredibleSoft, depending on their responsibilities. They may manage users within their team or department.
- User Role: Basic user roles typically have limited access to specific data and features based on their responsibilities. They may be restricted to viewing certain reports or updating specific sections of the system.
Managing User Roles and Permissions:
- Log in as an Administrator: Only users with administrative privileges can create and manage user roles and permissions.
- Access User Management Section: Navigate to the user management area within your CredibleSoft dashboard.
- Create New Users: Add new users to the system, specifying their name, email address, and desired role.
- Assign Roles: Select the appropriate role for each user based on their responsibilities within your organization.
- Configure Permissions: For each role, define specific permissions regarding data access, feature usage, and functionalities. This allows you to control what users can see and do within the system.
- Modify Existing Roles: You can adjust the permissions for existing roles to ensure they are aligned with current needs and responsibilities.
- Delete Users: Remove users from the system if they no longer require access to CredibleSoft.
Tips for Effective User Management:
- Use the Principle of Least Privilege: Assign the minimum necessary permissions to each user to complete their tasks, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or changes.
- Document User Roles: Maintain clear documentation that outlines the roles, permissions, and responsibilities of each user within the platform.
- Regularly Review Permissions: Periodically review user permissions to ensure they are still appropriate and aligned with current roles and responsibilities.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your user accounts by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA).
