Role Based Access Control

Role based access is a method of restricting access to authorized users within a business enterprise. In general, it is the capacity of an individual user to play out a particular task, for example, only view all the object records, create new records, or modify a record. These are characterized by work competency, specialist and obligation within the organization. Apptivo HR Management Software enables easy allocation of roles and privileges to emlployees.

Importance of Role Based Access Control

As an admin, it’s always important to control what your employees see and what your employees don’t see. You would not need someone in human resources department to see the financials of the business. In this case, you would like and want to give role based access to your employees. Apptivo Employee Management Software gives you complete control over which apps your employees will be able to use and access. Apps can be accessed and controlled only with the roles configured by the admin who created the firm. Employees will only have access to specific apps that are assigned to them by the admin.

Providing security roles and privileges are a very essential part in all the platforms to prevent confidential details. It is very easy to manage all your employees’ roles.

Being an administrator, after adding a new employee to the firm, you will have control over which apps your employees will be able to access and use and on what criteria. Along with assigning employee roles, you will have the ability to assign each employee a manager who will be able to oversee all the work progress with this employee tracking software.

The owner of an account (person who created the first account in your company) and Super Users (person with access to all modules) have access to Human Resources module by default, they can add new employees and assign them roles.

Roles are very specific to each app, so you will be able to select the app first and then assign them a position as a manager or read only user. Managers will be able to edit and access given app while read only users will only be able to see but not change and edit data. This gives you complete control over what apps each individual employee is using and accessing.

Apptivo Employees App provides a predefined set of roles which enable employees to access the different apps. These roles are part of comprehensive security system, to ensure that each user can securely connect and only access the data which belongs to them. There are many different built-in security roles, which provide users with access to specific applications. Once you have identified the right role, you’ll want to assign the security role to the desired employee. Users can sort by app category and select from these predefined security roles. Below are a few of our most commonly used security roles. We will see role based access from few of the apps.
