Role Management

There are four default roles in Simply Stakeholders:

  • Administrator - Complete access, including the admin menu. Access to this role should be limited to key staff members who will be responsible for the initial configuration and on-going site maintenance.
  • Project User - Read/write/delete access, should be assigned to general users; includes limited access to the Admin Menu
  • User without delete – Limited access to read and edit data only. The User can add data but cannot delete content.
  • Read-only - Very limited access, intended to be used by third party staff who may need to be linked to records or assigned follow-up tasks

Custom Roles

Administrators have the ability to create custom roles for each or all of the projects. For example, a role can be created for a User who requires Administrator access in one project, and Read-only access in another project.
