Learning Focus: Learn
Where: Admin Portal
🧭Before You Start (Recommended)
Before reviewing roles and permissions in detail, make sure you understand where work happens in ANVL and what access unlocks each area.
👉 Review first: ANVL Access Overview: What Users Can See and Do
This context will make the role and permission models below significantly easier to apply correctly.
🎯Why This Matters
As a Business Administrator, you are responsible for organization-wide access strategy and governance.
Roles, account settings, and Special Rights determine:
Who can access ANVL and where they can work
Who can configure workflows and publish changes
Who can manage users, sites, and hierarchy
Incorrect setup can:
Block critical access
Over-grant authority
Impact live users, workflows, and reporting
📝How Roles and Permissions Work in ANVL
ANVL access is governed through three layers:
Roles – determine which ANVL areas a user can access
Group (Site) access – determines which sites’ data a user can see
Special Rights – grant advanced configuration and governance capabilities
Business Administrators manage all three primarily in the ANVL Admin Portal.
Roles vs. Special Rights
Roles control entry to ANVL areas (Workflows, Manager)
Special Rights control advanced actions (configuration, publishing, governance)
Roles alone do not grant administrative authority.
Account-Level User Settings (Not Roles or Special Rights)
Some user capabilities are controlled by account-level settings, not Roles or Special Rights.
These affect how users are managed and where they appear in the platform.
Can Modify User
Purpose: Enables site-level user management
Typically assigned to: Site-Level Admins
Grants access to the Users tab in ANVL Manager
Allows adding, modifying, activating, and inactivating users within assigned Groups
Does not grant Admin Portal access or organization-level authority
This setting supports day-to-day user administration at the site level.
Hidden User
Purpose: Allows technical access without operational visibility
Typically assigned to: IT administrators, technical support, implementation resources
Hides the user from:
Assignments
Live Feed filters
Supervisor selection lists
Does not remove access to sites or configuration data
Common use cases:
IT support
Platform monitoring
Troubleshooting and configuration
Hidden users can access the platform but do not appear as operational users.

How Role Labels Appear Across ANVL
The same access is labeled differently depending on where you are working.
Access Purpose | Admin Portal Role Name | User Profile Label (ANVL Manager) |
Complete workflows | TECH | ANVL Mobile |
Review work and data | ADMIN | ANVL Web |
Important:
TECH and ADMIN are system role names used in the Admin Portal.
Users typically recognize their access as ANVL Mobile and ANVL Web in ANVL Manager.

Job titles vary by organization and industry. Assign access based on responsibilities, not title alone.
Special Rights
Special Rights extend capabilities beyond standard role access and are managed only in the Admin Portal.
Licensing Consideration (Important)
Some Special Rights may have licensing or contractual implications.
Before assigning Special Rights, review your Statement of Work (SOW) or confirm entitlements with your Benchmark Gensuite account team if you are unsure.
1. Super Admin
Access to the ANVL Admin Portal
Organization-wide user and Group management
Bulk create and bulk update actions
Grant sparingly due to organization-wide impact.

2. Workflow Management (Mobilize / Editor)
Workflow Management is a group of Special Rights that enable workflow design, editing, and publishing capabilities across Mobilize and Editor.
Depending on role needs, a user may be assigned one or more of the following Special Rights:
Create – Create new workflows using Mobilize AI
Edit – Edit existing workflow templates in Editor
View – View existing workflow templates
Delete Draft – Delete unpublished workflow drafts (organization-wide)
Publish – UAT – Publish workflows to Testing (UAT) Groups
Publish – All – Publish workflows to Testing and Production Groups
Important:
Delete Draft applies organization-wide, not at the site level.
Publishing to Production Groups has immediate operational impact and should be granted cautiously.

3. ANVL Insights (Risk Insights)
Access to Insights AI dashboards
View safety trends and performance metrics
Typically granted to Program Leads, analysts, or leadership.

⚠️Watch Out For…
Roles and Special Rights are not interchangeable
TECH-only users cannot be granted Special Rights
Over-granting Super Admin increases governance risk
User access and permission changes apply immediately
🔑Key Takeaways
Start with capability needs, not job titles
Roles control where users can work
Account settings control how users are managed and visible
Special Rights control advanced actions and governance
Business Administrators own consistency and risk management
