How do ANVL roles, permissions, and special rights work together?

Understand how ANVL roles, permissions, and Special Rights work together so Business Administrators can design, assign, and govern access across the organization.

Written by Lauren Baird

Answer

In ANVL, access is controlled through three main layers:

  • Roles decide which ANVL products a person can access

  • Group access decides which Groups or sites they can access

  • Special rights decide whether they can perform advanced actions such as workflow management or Admin Portal tasks

These layers work together, but they do different things.

A user may have access to ANVL Workflows, ANVL Insights, or both. That product access alone does not give them organization-level administrative power. Advanced administrative or configuration capabilities come from special rights.

As a System Manager, you use these layers together to decide:

  • what someone can access

  • where they can work

  • what advanced actions they can perform

Changes apply immediately and can affect live users, workflows, and reporting.


Steps

Understand the three access layers

  1. Review the user’s role-based product access.

  2. Review the user’s assigned Group access.

  3. Review any special rights assigned to the user.

Access Purpose

Admin Portal Role Name

User Profile Label (ANVL Manager)

Complete workflows

TECH

ANVL Mobile

Review work and data

ADMIN

ANVL Web

Review the user in ANVL Insights

  1. Open ANVL Insights.

  2. Go to Users.

  3. Search for the user you want to review.

  4. Select the checkbox next to the user’s name.

  5. Select Modify > Modify User.

  6. Review the user’s:

    • product access

    • Group assignments

    • supervisor assignment

    • profile settings such as phone number and language

Understand role labels across ANVL

  1. In the system, product access may appear as:

    • TECH = ANVL Workflows

    • ADMIN = ANVL Insights

  2. Users usually recognize these as:

    • Frontline Operations (ANVL Workflows)

    • ANVL Insights

Review the full user record in the Admin Portal

  1. Open ANVL Insights.

  2. Select Welcome, [Your Name].

  3. Select Admin Portal.

  4. In the Admin Portal, open User Management.

  5. Search for the user you want to review.

  6. Open the user record.

  7. Review the user’s:

    • system roles

    • Group access

    • Special Rights

    • account-level settings

    • metadata and tags

Review account-level user settings

  1. Check whether the user has Can Modify User enabled.

    • This allows access to the Users tab in ANVL Insights

    • It allows site-level user management within assigned Groups

    • It does not grant Admin Portal access

  2. Check whether the user is marked as Hidden User.

    • Hidden users retain access

    • They do not appear in assignments, supervisor lists, or other operational views

Assign product access and Group scope

  1. Assign ANVL Workflows if the user needs to complete workflows.

  2. Assign ANVL Insights if the user needs to review work, dashboards, assignments, or reports.

  3. Assign the correct Group(s) so the user can access the correct sites and data.

  4. Base access on responsibility, not just job title.

Assign Special Rights when needed

  1. Use Admin Portal access only for users who need organization-level administration.

  2. Use Workflow Management rights for users who need to create, edit, view, or publish workflows.

  3. Use Insights AI / Risk Insights only for users who need advanced insight and trend analysis.

  4. Assign advanced rights carefully, since these affect live configuration and governance.

Helpful notes

  • Roles control entry into ANVL products.

  • Group access controls site and data visibility.

  • Special Rights control advanced authority.

  • Roles alone do not grant administrative power.

  • System Managers typically manage these settings in the Admin Portal.

  • Over-assigning rights can create governance, reporting, and operational risk.
