🎯Why This Matters

Before assigning roles or permissions, Business Administrators must understand where work happens in ANVL and what access unlocks each experience.

This context helps prevent:

  • Over-granting administrative access

  • Misaligned user expectations

  • Rework caused by incorrect access models


How to Think About ANVL Access

ANVL access is best understood by capability and location, not job title.

A single user may interact with ANVL in one or more of these areas:

  • Completing work

  • Reviewing and managing work

  • Designing workflows

  • Governing users and structure

Roles and Special Rights determine which of these areas a user can access.


ANVL Workflows (Mobile App & Web Workflows)

Purpose: Completing work
Unlocked by: TECH role (shown as ANVL Mobile in user profiles)

Users with ANVL Workflows access can:

  • Complete workflows such as JSAs, LPAs, Inspections, and Briefings

  • Capture photos, videos, and field data

  • Submit work from the field or desktop (if enabled)

This access is common across frontline, supervisory, and leadership roles.

ANVL Manager

Purpose: Reviewing, managing, and analyzing work
Unlocked by: ADMIN role (shown as ANVL Web in user profiles)

Users with ANVL Manager access can:

  • Review submissions in the Live Feed

  • View in-platform dashboards and analytics

  • Manage workflow Assignments and schedules

  • Access and manage content in the Vault

  • Monitor site and user activity

This is the primary workspace for supervisors, managers, and program leads.

Users Tab (ANVL Manager)

Purpose: Site-level user management
Unlocked by: ADMIN role plus Can Modify User permission

From the Users tab, authorized admins can:

  • Add and modify users

  • Assign product access and Groups (Sites)

  • Activate or inactivate users

  • Manage supervisor assignments within their scope

This capability is typically limited to Site-Level Admins.

Workflow Management (Mobilize & Editor)

Purpose: Designing and maintaining workflows
Unlocked by: Workflow Management Special Right

Users with Workflow Management access can:

  • Create workflows using Mobilize AI

  • Edit workflows in Editor

  • Manage questions, logic, and scoring

  • Publish workflows to Testing (UAT) or Production Groups

This access is typically granted to Workflow Managers or Business Administrators.

ANVL Admin Portal

Purpose: Organization-level governance
Unlocked by: Super Admin Special Right

From the Admin Portal, Business Administrators can:

  • Manage all users and Groups across the organization

  • Assign Special Rights

  • Perform bulk user and Group actions

  • Configure organization-level settings and hierarchy

This is the highest level of access in ANVL and should be granted sparingly.

How This Comes Together

  • ANVL Workflows → Doing the work

  • ANVL Manager → Reviewing and managing the work

  • Users tab → Managing site-level access

  • Mobilize / Editor → Designing workflows

  • Admin Portal → Governing the organization

Roles grant entry points.
Special Rights unlock advanced capabilities.


🔑Key Takeaways for Business Administrators

  • Start with where users need to work, not their job title

  • Most users need ANVL Workflows access

  • Leaders and admins typically need ANVL Manager

  • Special Rights should be assigned intentionally and sparingly

  • The Admin Portal is for governance, not day-to-day tasks
