Create Custom Roles

Create Custom Roles

Introduction 




There are a dozen pre-set roles in the app that will fit many company's needs . However, a company may find it needs particular  roles the app does not have.

A Custom Role is a tailored set of permissions given to a role that is then given to a user(s) to carry out their tasks and responsibilities within their company.

Before creating custom roles, check out our article Understanding Roles to get a grasp on how roles work in the HailTrace app.  

Limitations

  1. Subscription

    1. The permissions you can give a custom role are limited to the products in your subscription (Maps, Residential Data, Commercial Data, and/or Canvassing).

  2. Canvasser plan 

    1. This plan has a Seat Limit (a set number of users) that can have at least one permission relating to canvassing(see "Permissions listed by product" below).  
      1. For example, if a custom role was created with all the permissions relating to Contacts("create a contact", "edit a contact", and etc) AND has only the "View Campaigns" permission, each of the users assigned that role would take up 1 seat in your Canvasser plan.

Important Notes

  1. Multiple roles can be given to a user. Refrain from creating custom roles that combine one or more pre-set roles. 
  2. "Delete" permissions should be reserved for admin roles.
  3. There are two seemingly similar permission "list ..." and "view..." of a feature, such as "list assets" and "view assets". Give both permissions to a role. The former is to see the feature in the maps tab and the table view, and the latter is to access the feature's details.
  4. If you want to give a role the ability to see contacts, you must give them the "view all contacts" and "list all contacts" permissions. Giving the "all" permission keeps a cohesive list of contacts and removes accidental duplicates. 


Steps to Create Custom Roles

4.  Fill out info:
  1. Name: Give the role a title
  2. Description: Describe what abilities the role gives a User
  3. Permissions: Choose from several dozen permissions *Note: Any permission with "any" (eg "Update Any Campaign") indicates a user can access or edit all of those things insides the company, not just the ones that user created (eg. "Update Campaigns").
