User Positions, Roles and Details Setup & Admin
This article describes the tools available for managing user accesses. It covers User Positions, User Details and User Roles.
There are three user types – Staff, Customer and Supplier:
Customer users should have ‘Customer’ and ‘Sales Customer’ roles only.
Supplier users should only have the ‘Supplier’ user role.
Staff users’ role allocations are a little more complex. The users’ job within the organization will determine the roles required.
User access to various parts of printIQ is controlled with a combination of User Roles, Menu Access Administration and Settings. To facilitate a consistent application of necessary roles for specific positions within the business, ‘User Positions’ can be used to apply specific sets of user roles to different user types.
