Employee Privileges Group

Top Previous Next

When creating users in Commit, you can assign predefined privilege groups (SysAdmin, Full, Partial, Limited) or you can assign a privilege group you've created yourself.

To modify the employee privileges group, go to the Employees window and select an employee. Then go to the Employee tab, click on the Configure User button and link the employee to the desired privileges group. Save the changes.

Note that only Sys Admin users can set the Privileges groups and modify each group's definition, and that the Sys Admin Privileges group cannot be modified in the Privileges editor. To view employees who are defined as system administrators, go to the Main menu, then File > Users and Privileges > Show Administrators.

Commit's basic installation includes three pre-defined privilege groups as follows:

1.	Full – This group allows a user to do anything in the system, including advanced system customization. This group should be used to define users who will have complete access, but are not system administrators.

2.	Partial – This group has some limitations, and may be used to define a "technician" role in the system:

•	Special operations in the system (such as performing batch updates, importing from QuickBooks, etc.)

•	Limited (read-only) access to other users' information, such as Tickets and Appointments.

•	Limited or no access to financial information.

3.	Limited – Very limited access (read-only) to some information.

All these groups can be modified and you can add your own privilege groups if needed.
