Managing Roles and Permissions

Roles in InfinCE allow grouping of module permissions and assigning them to users or user groups so that they can be provisioned with required access to workplace modules. Roles can be customized to meet the specific needs of an organization. There are two types of roles, System Default Roles and Custom Roles. System default roles are predefined roles available in the system by default, while Custom roles can be created as needed.

Based on the access level, roles can be divided into Basic and Standard. During the role creation, if the user selects the role access level as basic, then he can choose from a limited set of permissions available, whereas if the user selects the role access level as standard, he can choose from all the permissions available in the system.

It is important to note that the permissions are applicable to the user based on their Organizational Unit/Team and the roles they possess. For example, suppose the user is a Team Administrator of ‘Team A’ with the permission ‘Manage associated teams’ and a member of Team B. In that case, this user will be able to add/edit users of Team A and can only view the members of Team B.

System Default Roles

System default roles are the pre-defined roles available in the system. These roles have specific permissions for the various features in InfinCE Workplace. Users assigned to the roles are granted those permissions. It is possible to edit the permissions of the system default role if needed.
