πŸ”“ Optional Role Permissions: See Bulk Action, Data Export

Roles group users with similar responsibilities into categories. Each role has a defined set of permissions within areas of the Ventrata dashboard, so called Dataset Permissions, as well as action permissions which extend the role's capabilities in an area.

πŸ“— TIP

A user can be assigned more than one role.


Create a Role

  1. In the Ventrata dashboard, go to Admin > Account Settings
    ​

  2. Press the Roles tab.
    ​


    ​

  3. In the action bar, press the + New Role button.
    ​

  4. Enter role name. Use a descriptive title indicative of the role's function in your organisation, such as Accounts Team or Reseller Management.
    ​

    Name

  5. Under Dataset Permissions, select 'See' and 'Modify' next to the area which the role should be able to view and edit.
    ​


    πŸ“’ NOTE

    To view the list of dataset permissions, jump to the Dataset Permissions section.
    ​


    πŸ“— TIP

    You have the option to press the SELECT READ ALL and SELECT WRITE ALL buttons to give the role read/write access to all areas of the dashboard.
    ​


  6. Select which columns are disabled for the role or keep 'All Columns' checked to keep all columns visible.

    Dataset Permissions

  7. De-select which action permissions are not available to the role.
    ​


    πŸ“’ NOTE
    To view the list of action permissions, jump to the Action Permissions section.
    ​


    πŸ“— TIP

    By default, all action permissions are allowed. You have the option to press the DE-SELECT ALL button to disallow all and cherry pick individual permissions.


    Action Permissions

  8. Press the Create Role button.
    ​

    Create Role

  9. Assign role to users.
    ​


    πŸ“— TIP

    To learn how to create users, read our article Users.



Dataset Permissions

πŸ“’ NOTE

In the table below, permissions in the 'Modify' column are always added on top of 'See' permissions. Therefore, if both 'See' and 'Modify' are enabled, the role has all the permissions listed in the dataset row.
