7. Roles Management
In the ZPAD+ environment,
Roles
are the set of
permissions
that can be assigned to an
employee
or a
group of employees
regarding the functions of the device. For example, a
role can be set that forbids the editing of
T&A Settings
but allows the checking of T&A
Records. Another role can be set that allows only the
punching
, with no additional
permissions.
Roles
are managed in the
Roles app
. It is not possible to manage an addition, modification
or deletion permission
individually
. When a role includes a permission, it means that the
whole operation of the permission being set is allowed. Except for the webserver
permission, the permissions of the role assigned to an employee
define the apps
the
employee can access in the apps page.
Roles that can be set include the following permissions:
•
Roles manager
: Lets the assigned employee access the Roles App
•
System administrator
: Lets the assigned employee access the System Settings
•
Webserver user
: The assigned employee can access the webserver.
Warning:
The
assigned employee also needs to have a Password created in order to access the
web server.
•
T&A Manager
: Lets the user access the Employees App and the T&A Settings App
•
Apps Dashboard
: The assigned employee can only access the Messages app and
the T&A Records app. Disabling this permission also disables the rest of the
permissions except the Webserver permission
By default, the device includes a
Super Admin
role that has
full permissions
. If no
employees are registered in the device, or
no employees
are assigned to the Super Admin
role,
no restrictions will be enforced
when accessing the apps.
The user, having the required role, can create new
Roles
, edit the existing user-made roles
and delete any of the existing user-made roles.
7.1. Add a New Role
Once created, the role needs to be
assigned to employees
in order that its configured
restrictions are enforced. The process to add a new role to the device is as follows.
1. In the
Roles app
, click on the + sign on the top right on the screen to add a
New
Role
(marked in the screenshot with a green arrow).
