What are the Community Connect user permissions?
- Jason Reel (Deactivated)
The Settings module in the Office application allows users to be created and edited. This is where people are granted access to Community Connect applications for each center. There are a variety of permissions available that can be granted to a user. Each Community Connect application will have a unique set of permissions that can be given.
There are two kinds of permissions in Community Connect. There are application permissions and module permissions. The intent is to set a user to have access to specific content (modules) and then define which applications they can use to access it (application).
Step-by-step guide
The following will give users some understanding of what permissions are available and how they will work.
Awarding Permissions
A permission can be given simply by opening the user record and clicking the toggle next to the permission. Some permissions have additional access options that can also be set for each individual user.
Granted/Denied:
Additional module options:
Certain modules will have additional security that can be awarded to users.
Application Permissions
The user permissions list starts off with a list of Community Connect applications a user can be given access. When a user is given access to a specific application they can get into the application and see the appropriate modules. What users see in an application will be determined by module permissions (read below).
Module Permissions
The modules, or application content, are awarded to users and visible in any application the user can access. Granting access to a module makes it visible in any applicable application. This means that if a user is given access to the "Customers" module and they can access both the Mobile and Office applications then they will see "Customers" in both Mobile and Office.
By default, the "Dashboard" module is awarded to all users. They can only see it if they can access the Mobile or Office applications.
The permissions set on a user will only be applied for the selected center. A user can have different permissions from one center to another.
