Speaking of roles...
In Houaiss Portuguese Dictionary, we can search for the following meaning for the word "role": "duty, legal, moral, professional obligation or assignment, function that is performed or fulfilled". The roles should be registered aiming at identifying the different functions available in the company. The relationship between roles and users makes the identification of users able to perform determined task in a workflow easier.
Examples of Roles
- GER - Managers;
- DIR - Directors;
- FIN - Finances;
- PRG - Programmers;
- ANJ - Analysts (Junior);
- ANS - Analysts (Senior);
- ADS - System Administrators.
Information Register
To register Roles, go to “Roles” in the People container of the Control Panel
The relationship between User and Roles is established in the option Users and upon creating and/editing a role. It is important to remember that the same user can be associated with more than one role, according to the functions he or she has.
All users created on the platform are assigned to the “user” role, which cannot be deleted or edited.
To become an administrator user, they must be assigned to the “admin” role. This role provides the assigned user with several privileges such as:
- They can access the Control Panel to handle their administrative resources on the platform such as register users, change user passwords and permissions, etc;
- They can browse through all the documents except for the My Documents folders belonging to other users, and also edit or delete a document regardless of the applied security;
- They can query workflow requests even if they are not participating in the process.
