Organizational roles
Organizational user roles form the organizational structure tree of the company. Each organizational role is an element of this structure represented by an organization or a department.
•Subsidiary branches and offices can have these roles in the hierarchy. Organizations can be subordinate only to other organizations.
•For example, departments or other organizational units can also be considered divisions. Divisions can be subordinate to organizations or other divisions.
Functional roles are designed for granting the same set of permissions to different elements of organizational structure. For example, add the sales department of the head office and the sales department of the branch to the organizational structure, and the role of a sales manager to the functional structure. And the role of a sales department employee was added to the functional structure. To set up the same permissions for different divisions, define the set of permissions for a functional role and connect it to several divisions.
Access rights can be granted to specific users, organizational roles and functional roles.
If users are included in an organizational role, they are also granted all permissions of this role.
If an organizational role is connected to a functional role, all users of the organizational role receive the permissions of the connected functional role.
If an organizational/functional role is the subordinate to another role, it receives the permissions of the parent role on the top of its own permissions.
Managers of companies/divisions, in addition to their own access rights, automatically receive all access rights provided to their organizational structure elements, all subordinate elements and users.
