Roles & Permissions

Roles and Permissions page lets you create roles and permissions for the users.

You can select these roles and permissions while creating a user.
Each role has access, create, read, edit, and delete access associated with the features as required.

There are 7 system-defined roles (Administrator, Executive Manager, Portfolio Manager, Collateral Analyst, Borrower, Participation Party, Any Client).

Apart from these defined sets of roles, you can also create custom roles.

The custom role is a part of system system-defined role or another custom role. The role that a custom role is a part of, is called the parent role.

roles and permissions

The permissions types for a user are as follows:

1. Access – This permission allows a user to view the record for a data item. You must select the 'Access' permission to provide the user with other permissions such as create, detail, edit, delete, etc., In case you do not select the 'Access' permission, you cannot select any other permissions. 

Upon enabling the Access permission, the link to access the specific feature will be enabled in the menu so that the user can view and access the specific-enabled feature in the application.

For example, If Access permission is enabled for the Basic Details feature, the user can view the specific-enabled feature link (for example, Basic Details page link) under the Menu item; On clicking the feature link (i.e., Basic Details) under the menu item, the user will be directed to the Basic Details information page.

2. Create – This permission allows a user to create a data item.  

3. Edit – This permission allows a user to edit a data item.

4. Delete – This permission allows a user to delete a data item.

5. Detail – This permission allows a user to navigate into a separate view page of the specific-enabled feature from its index page. For example, if Detail permission is enabled for the Client Templates page, the user can navigate to a separate view page of each Client Template created by clicking on the Client Template name.

Access view of data item

Access view allows the user to view the list of records of a data item (for example sales regions, NAICS, etc.,). Access permission is required by a user to view and access this page. A user may see the create, edit, and delete permission buttons on this page based on the permissions provided.
