Users Roles and Permissions

Static roles

To improve security and ensure more efficient work distribution in FOTA WEB have been added Static user roles with specific permissions.

Static roles cannot be edited or deleted.

A role is a set of permissions.

List of Static Roles:

• Administrator – Have full control over all features/permissions.
• User – Have access to the most common features.
• Guest – Have read-only access and cannot perform any actions.

The Administrator role is granted in the following cases:

• When logistics invites users, by default it will have "Administrator" role.
• When support invites users, by default it will have the first option "Administrator" role.
• The administrator role can be granted by the client with the Administrator role.
• When no role is specified, "Administrator" role is set by default.
• A role can be selected from the list when inviting a new user.

One user can have multiple roles.

Permissions are specific actions within the software. e.g., "Create task," "Invite user", "Import files“.

The list of available Role permissions can be viewed by hovering the mouse over the "Permissions Count" in the "Roles and Permissions" section.

The list of granted user Roles and permissions can be viewed under the "Users" in the "Permissions info" section.

Custom roles

Custom roles are manually created roles that can include any combination of the 38 available permissions.

Custom user roles can be created, edited, or deleted only by users with Administrator or Custom roles with appropriate role permissions.

Only Premium company users can create/edit/delete a new customer role.

A maximum of 5 roles can be assigned per user.

To create a custom role, click on “Create role“ button:

When creating a role, the following information must be provided:

• Role name

Roles logic

• Roles belong to a specific company and are not inherited by child/parent companies.

• When an internal user moves a user with a custom role, they must set a role available for the company they are moving the user to.

• When moving a user with a custom role, they must set a role available for the company they are moving the user to.

• When merging the companies, if the set roles are not merged, then required to select the target role.

• When the role can be deleted:

1. If there are no users/invitations assigned, allow deletion.
2. If there are users/invitations assigned, do not allow deletion.
