Managing roles

Every user interacts with SmartTurn from a specific point of view, and needs access to specific information to do his or her job.

Roles are what SmartTurn uses to bridge the gap between individual users and a large menu of permissions. When you assign a role to a user, you are telling SmartTurn what the user can do in the application. When you complete the role assignment by designating an Agent For, you are telling SmartTurn which data the user can see in the application.

The Default SmartTurn Administrator is the initial role active in SmartTurn. The user who has the Default SmartTurn Administrator role assigns every other user permissions to perform specific tasks and see specific data. You can view your company's list of roles under Administration>Roles.

• To filter the list: If there are too many roles in the list for you to locate the one you want, you can filter the list using the Filter and Contains fields above. More info...
• To sort the list: Click any of the column labels. If the list has more than 25 roles, SmartTurn creates additional list pages. When you click the column labels to sort the list, SmartTurn includes all the roles from the overflow pages in the sort.
