When a standard user needs additional access to functions and features in Apricot that are usually reserved for administrator users, these can be granted through assigning Roles.
What is a Role?
Roles represent the different kinds of access and functions that standard users usually cannot use.
In the example above, "Manage Reports" is one of the roles that can be granted to a Standard user. Usually, Standard users can run and view reports that have already been built, but only Administrators can build or edit reports. By granting this role to a Standard user, you can allow someone who is not a full Administrator to have access to the Report Builder feature, granting them the ability to create and edit reports.
Adding a Role to a User
To add a role to a user, select the Administrator tab at the top of the page.
On the left hand menu, select "User/Program Profiles."
On the right hand side, select "User Profiles."
Expand the black arrow next to "Add Search Field."
Select a field like Username or Name to enable searching.
Start typing into the search field to narrow down the list of users.
When you find the name you want, click the green text.
Adding a Role to a User
Scroll down to the section called "Assigned Roles" and click the Add button.
Select a gray arrow and expand to show the roles that are available.
Click on the role you would like to add to this user.
You will see the role listed under "Links to be Added Upon Save."
If you would like to remove a role at this point, click the X.
If you would like to add more roles, click Add.
When you are finished, save the record.
Removing a Role from a User
To remove a role from a user who no longer needs it, open the user for editing and scroll down to the Assigned Roles section of the page. De-select the checkbox under the "Active" column.
Save record.
