After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Set user access in the context of a property.
Contextual rights per property
Assigning access rights in the context of a property is a useful way to separate the availability of the property data in Workplace Management. Not all users need to see and edit information for every property in the system. Moreover, the contextual rights will also hinder the possibilities of creating objects such as requests, reservations, and purchase orders for the properties that they do not have access to. It is possible to add access rights for one user on multiple properties.
There are three access right groups that can be set in the context of a property:
View areas and properties
If the access to the property or area is set in the context of this group, the user is only able to view the information on the property or area.
The user can also make objects such as requests, reservations and purchase orders for this property or area.
Edit properties and areas
In addition to rights granted by the group “View areas and properties”, user can also edit the information of the property or area.
Reservation coordinator
If the reservation coordinator group is added in the context of a property or area, the reservation coordinator has only access to reservations relevant for this property or area. This also applies to the reservation calendar.
There are two ways of managing the contextual access to a property or area.
Via the instance page of the property or area
The contextual access to a property or area is managed on the subsequent instance pages. This
Navigate to a property or area;
Click on the “Authorized” users tab;
Add a user who should have access to this property;
Select the desires access right group.
Via the system user page
A user manager can add the contextual access to a property or an areas by navigating to the corresponding includes on the system user page.
Select a system user;
Click on the tab “Properties to which this user is authorized” or the “Properties to which this user is authorized”
Click on add;
Select the properties or areas the user should have access to;
