How Do I Configure Staff Permissions and User Groups?

IN THIS ARTICLE:
Learn how to assign staff permissions and set up staff User Groups. Staff permissions control which areas of iClassPro a user is allowed to access, as well as which tasks they are allowed to perform. User Groups are created to share a standard set of permissions between staff members assigned to the same group.

How to Set User Permissions

User permissions can be granted to an entire user group at once, and then a staff member can be assigned to one or more user groups to be granted the permissions they require. User Groups are assigned under the PERMISSIONS tab of the staff user.

Depending on the permissions to be granted, you can either check the box for “Admin Access (Full Permissions)”, or select one or more User Groups from the “User Group” list:

If needed, additional permissions can be granted per user under their staff user profile.  Note that additional user permissions ALWAYS add to the permissions granted by the staff member's user group. There is not a way to revoke permissions already granted through their assigned user group, so you will want to assign staff members to the most restrictive group for their needs and then grant advanced permissions as needed.

When you grant additional permissions, the permission indicator (shown to the right of the permission toggle) will reflect which permission they have. Hovering over the indicator will explain where the permission came from (either a Group permission or User-specific).  User-specific permissions that override Group permissions are displayed in orange.

NOTES:

  • If both a User-specific permission and Group permission grant the same privileges, removing one permission will not automatically remove the other. If you wish to revoke a staff member’s access to a specific page or permission to perform specific tasks, you must remove the permission(s) from both areas, or remove the User-specific permission and reassign the staff member to a more restrictive user group.
  • (ENTERPRISE PORTAL CUSTOMERS ONLY) If Enterprise Portal permission overrides are in place, these will also be noted when hovering above the permission indicator:

Permissions Overview 

You can set up User Groups and set permissions under SETTINGS>SETUP>STAFF SETTINGS>USER GROUPS.

If you need to grant ALL permissions under a particular heading (Application, Pages, Tasks, Reports), you can do so by setting that heading to FULL. Please note that if you disable any of the permissions under that heading, the heading status will revert to NONE, with only the allowed permissions showing as granted beneath.

There are three main areas for permissions:

Application Access

These permissions determine whether or not the user can log into the specified area of the iClassPro system. These permissions only allow for NO access or FULL access. (Granting FULL access only grants permission to log into these areas; permission to view specific pages or perform specific tasks are granted by the “Page Access” and “Tasks” sections.)

  • iClassPro: the main area of the iClassPro application, or Office Portal
  • Staff Portal: the dedicated staff portal (currently used for taking attendance, performing skill evaluations, and time clock functions)

Page Access

Once logged into the Office Portal, these permissions determine which pages the staff member can access. The different options refer to the links in the blue toolbar across the top of each page, as well as a few options located under the User Panel (accessed via the user icon in the upper right-hand corner). These permissions only allow for NO access or FULL access. (Granting FULL access only grants permission to access these ages; permissions to perform specific tasks are granted by the “Tasks” section.)

NOTE: While the Welcome Page or Dashboard are the intended landing pages of the software, if a staff user does not have access to those pages, they will be redirected to the first page in the top navigation that they have been given access to. If no page access has been granted, they may see a notice that they do not have permissions immediately after login.

  • Welcome Page - granting permission to access the Welcome Page will allow access to several widgets in the fixed layout.
  • Dashboard - granting permission to access the Dashboard will allow access to several widgets. Certain widgets including financial widgets (summing Charges and Payments) and the Program Summary widget will require additional permissions for all users except the business owner and admins.

Task Access

"General" Tasks

These permissions determine which tasks a user can perform within the Office Portal or Staff Portal (depending on the specific permission). In addition to NO access and FULL access, many of these options have an additional VIEW permission which will allow the user to view details regarding these tasks, but will not allow them to create/edit/delete.
