Functional roles

Functional roles reflect employee job titles, e.g., “Sales Managers”.

To manage functional roles, click btn_system_designer00028.png -> [Functional roles] (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 The [Functional roles] section

scr_section_users_functional_roles.png 

The [Functional roles] section contains the structure of functional roles (represented in the form of a folder tree) and the information about each functional role.

Note

By default, only system administrators have access to this section. Users need to have permission to the “Manage user list” (CanManageUsers) system operation to work with this section.

Use functional roles to set up identical access permissions for all employees with certain job positions, regardless of the company division. For example, you can create a functional role for managers in both main and regional offices. To do this:

1.Create a functional role. Learn more in the “Add a functional role” article.

2.Add organizational roles to a functional role. Learn more in the “Connect functional and organizational roles” article.

3.Configure access permissions for a functional role. Learn more about object permissions in the “Object permissions” article.

Add a functional role

1.Click btn_system_designer00029.png -> [Functional roles].

2.Click [Add]. Specify the name of the role in the opened window.

Note

The name of a functional role must be unique.

3.Click [Save].

4.Click btn_marketing_plans_detail_menu00030.png -> [Update roles] for changes to take effect (Fig. 2).

As a result, a new functional role will be added.

Connect functional and organizational roles

A functional role can be linked to one or more organizational roles. For example, you can link the “Managers” functional role with the “Main office. Managers group” and “Regional office. Managers group” organizational roles.

To connect a functional role to an organizational role:

1.Click btn_system_designer00031.png -> [Functional roles].

2.In the list of functional roles, select the corresponding functional role. The functional role page will open on the right-hand side.

3.On the [Organizational roles] tab, click btn_com_add_tab00032.png and add organizational roles to a functional role. For example, add the “Main office. Managers group” and “Regional office. Managers group” organizational roles to the “Managers” functional role.

4.Click btn_marketing_plans_detail_menu00033.png -> [Update roles] for changes to take effect (Fig. 3).

Fig. 3 Connecting functional and organizational roles

As a result, the “Managers” functional role will be linked to the “Main office. Managers group” and “Regional office. Managers group” organizational roles. This will grant all permissions from the linked organizational roles to the users with the “Managers” functional role.

Add users to a functional role

You can add users to the functional role in any of the following ways:

add an existing user (selecting a user from the list)

add a new user via a new user page

Attention

To add users to a functional role:

1.Click btn_system_designer00034.png -> [Functional roles].

2.In the list of functional roles, select the corresponding organization and/or division.

3.On the [Users] tab:

Click btn_com_add_tab00035.png and select [Add existing] to add an existing user. Select the corresponding user in the pop-up window (Fig. 4).

Click btn_com_add_tab00036.png and select [Add new] to add a new user assigned to this role (you will need to populate the new user page).
