Permissions | Levels

1) Definition

Permissions control the level of access a user has within EE (Easy Employer). This allows users to focus on their areas of responsibility and only allows access of sensitive information to the appropriate people.

2) Usage

Permissions are a mandatory requirement in the EE system. They are set based on company requirements and tasks users need to complete in the system. If issues exist with the permissions that a user has been granted within the system they should contact their manager for support.

3) Functionality

A user can have higher permissions for the whole organisation or for a specific part of the group tree (See: The organisation structure). If a user is assigned to a higher organisation permission, then that permission is applied to every group (e.g. every role in every site) in the organisation. If the user is assigned to a higher permission for a particular group, then that permission is applied from that group in the hierarch (e.g. a roles in a particular site or area).

4) Permission levels

There is a default set of permissions configured in EE. For a description of the permissions and the functions that the various roles can perform, see the article on Permissions Levels. Your organisation might have custom permission sets or if you require one, please contact the EE help desk.
