Roles and permissions

Three roles in your organisation: Employers run it, Superusers manage documents and staff, and Users read and acknowledge.

The three roles

SuperuserDepartment or station managerIssue and manage documents, groups and assignments; track completion; export records; add, edit and disable Users.
UserFrontline staffRead and acknowledge what is assigned to them, and see their own history and certificates.

The person who creates the organisation at sign-up is its first Employer.

How roles are protected

Role rules are enforced in the database as well as in the application: nobody can change their own role or give anyone a role at or above their own. Employers cannot edit other Employers, and passwords can only be reset for people below you.

Note
Keep administrator roles to the people who issue documents. Most of your organisation should be Users.
