Working with user roles

You use the Roles page to define the permissions that different types of user have in Asta Connect. For each user role, you specify precise permissions that enable or disable certain activities in Asta Connect. Once you have created the user roles that you need, you assign the appropriate roles to each user. You can assign a single role to each user, or more than one role.

A number of user roles are included automatically in Asta Connect. These are known as 'static' user roles. For example, 'Admin', 'User', 'Project Manager' and 'Site Manager' are 'static' user roles. You can edit static user roles to make them fit the way in which you use Asta Connect.

You can specify that specific user roles should be applied to new users by default when users are created - automatically giving new users these roles' permissions. These are known as 'default' user roles.

To access the Roles page, click the Administration dropdown in the left pane, then click Roles.
