Adding a User Role

Prev Next

Users are added to Roles that perform certain functions. Roles are either Subscribers or Viewers. A Subscriber can make changes to the scaffolds. A Viewer can access ScaffoldIQ but can only view the requests, scaffolds, etc. and cannot make any changes other than adding comments.

User roles must be created before you can add new People, as they need to be assigned to a role. This includes Viewer Roles.

Subscriber users are assigned to Subscriber Roles, and Viewer users are assigned to Viewer Roles.

To create a new role

  1. From the Map screen, select People.
     

  2. In the People screen, click the User Roles button.
      

  3. In the User Roles screen, click Add and specify to add a Subscriber or Viewer role.

     


    Note: For more information on Subscribers and Viewers, click the Subscribers and Viewers page.
     

  4. Mark the role as Active.
     

  5. Provide the name of the user role and a description.
      

  6. On the right, specify the user's permissions and what they can do in the system.

  7. Click OK

     
    The user role will be added, and users can be assigned to it.
