Manage Permissions

Use the feature to create and manage user roles of the application. Each user role comes with a set of user permissions. For a particular role, user permission governs the set of customer roles a user has access to and a set of system permissions which govern the various activities a user can perform on the Spotlight application. The users who do not have access to a customer role will be able to view only selected information about those customers which excludes the personally identifiable information of a customer. This will help to restrict user access to the customer. We can also define CSR permissions which define what user can perform when he tries to access customer account on behalf of a customer the user has access to. All services exposed to client are governed by a set of permissions identified as a subset of customer entitlements and user CSR permissions. The resulting permissions decide whether a user can access a particular service or not.

The navigation menu and the various options on the screen are modified based on the permissions available for a user.

Permissions broadly fall under these categories:

  • Create
  • View
  • Modify or Update - This includes the option to deactivate and delete.
