Profiles
Overview of profiles
Organizations maintain different levels of hierarchy. Users in an organization will hold various responsibilities based on this hierarchy. For privacy and security reasons, users might need different levels of access privileges in the organization.
To address this, Qntrl supports Profiles. Every profile in your organization (except Admin) can be configured with unique privileges. Admin profile has all types of accesses and privileges. By default, we provide four different profiles, each with its own level of privilege: Admin, Service Admin, Manager and User. Users can be assigned with these profiles when they are added to the organization. Learn more about adding users.
Default profiles
Admin
Admin users belong to the top level of the hierarchy. These users have permission to perform all actions in the organization.
- Admin profile's card level, field level, and audit log permissions cannot be modified.
- The Admin profile cannot be deleted.
Service Admin
Service Admin falls just below the Admin profile in the hierarchy. Users with this profile can perform every action, but will not be able to view all the cards in the organization. However, these are the initial permissions which can be modified in the profile anytime.
- Card level, field-level, and audit log permissions of the Service Admin profile can be modified.
- The Service Admin profile can be renamed or deleted.
Manager
The Manager profile falls third in the hierarchy. These users can perform every action, but will not be able to view all the cards in the organization. Also, the users of this profile will be not able to access the Settings section which hosts major modules like Forms and Blueprints. Although these are the initial permissions, they can be modified in the profile anytime.
- Card level, field level, and audit log permissions of the Manager profile can be modified.
- The Manager profile can be renamed or deleted.
User
The User profile is only allowed to access the basic details, such as editing cards assigned to them and requested by them. They can also pick up any unassigned card to work on it. Although these are the initial permissions, they can be modified in the profile anytime.
- Card level, field-level, and audit log permissions of the User profile can be modified.
- The User profile can be renamed or deleted.
