How to Manage Users

Easily add and manage team members roles and accessibility with the following steps:

  1. First, you'll need to define specific roles (additional configurations will continue to be added)

    1. Full Access Role: Assigned on Default and grants permission to all access of the app

    2. Planning Group Accessibility: Configure controls around planning groups

  2. Select Team on the left hand nav

  3. Click Add Teammate

    1. Input Contact Information

    2. Select their Admin status (Y/N)

    3. Select their GL Accessibility (Y/N)

    4. Select their Department

    5. Note: A user's Department also determines their default home screen in Confido. There's no separate home-screen setting — to change which screen a user lands on, change their Department.

    6. Select their Module Access

    7. Select their Manager

    8. Click Save

  4. To Delete a Teammate:

    1. Select the box next to the user you want to delete

  5. To add users outside of your organization (auditors, outsourced teams, etc):

    1. Click Add Partner

      1. Input Contact Information

      2. Select Has Confido Access? (Y/N)

      3. Select their Department

      4. Select their Manager

      5. Click Save

      6. Note: External Partners cannot currently be restricted to only their assigned Planning Groups/Customers on the Trade Calendar — an External Partner with Trade Calendar access can see the full calendar, not just their own accounts.

  6. Note: Users can also be added in bulk by selecting Import by CSV

  7. To Edit permissions double click into the tab you want to modify and select the new value

Troubleshooting: If a user can't select or see expected options (for example, planning groups when creating a promotion), check whether they have a role assigned at all on the Team page. Users added without an assigned role will be blocked from most actions in Confido. Assigning them a role (e.g., Full Access) from the Team page resolves this.

If a sales user specifically can't edit fields like buy-in date when adding a promotion, check the "Show accounting fields for sales users" setting under Trade Settings. This setting controls whether sales-role users can see and edit accounting-adjacent fields (including buy-in date) — if it's toggled off, those fields will be hidden or read-only for sales users even though other roles can edit them normally.
