User Management (Custom Roles)

The User Management section allows you to create and manage user roles within your organisation. Each role defines what areas of the platform users can access and what actions they can perform.

Accessing User Management

Navigate to Settings and select the User Management tab to access role configuration.

Understanding Roles

Roles control what users can see and do within the platform. Each role has:

  • Role Name – The name used to identify the role

  • Web App Access – Whether users with this role can log into the web application

  • Permissions – Specific access rights to different areas of the platform

Default Roles

The system includes several pre-configured roles that cannot be renamed:

Role

Description

Superadmin

Full access to all areas of the platform. Permissions cannot be modified.

Service Manager

Designed for managers overseeing service delivery

Scheduler

Designed for staff responsible for scheduling

Service Delivery Worker

Designed for frontline staff

You can still modify the permissions for all default roles except Superadmin.

Creating a New Role

  1. Click the + button located next to the role tabs

  2. Enter a name for the new role in the modal that appears

  3. Click Add to create the role

The new role will be created with no permissions enabled by default. You can then configure the permissions as needed.

Editing a Role

  1. Select the role you want to edit by clicking its tab

  2. Click the Edit button in the top right corner

  3. Make your changes:

    • Role Name – Update the name (not available for default roles)

    • Web App Access – Set to "Yes" or "No" to control login access

    • Permissions – Configure access levels for each area

  4. Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them

Configuring Permissions

Each permission can be set to one of three access levels:

Access Level

Description

No Access

Neither checkbox selected – the user cannot access this area

Read Only

User can view information but cannot make changes

Full Access

User can view, create, edit, and delete information in this area

Note: You can only select one access level per permission. Selecting "Full Access" will automatically deselect "Read Only" and vice versa.

Deleting a Role

Roles can only be deleted if:

  • They are not one of the default system roles (Superadmin, Service Manager, Scheduler, Service Delivery Worker)

  • All permissions have been removed (no access granted)

To delete a role:

  1. Select the role you want to delete

  2. Click Edit

  3. Remove all permissions (uncheck all Read Only and Full Access checkboxes)

  4. The Delete Role button will appear at the bottom of the permissions card

  5. Click Delete Role

  6. Confirm the deletion in the modal that appears
