πŸ‘₯ Roles and permissions

The following roles can add a user to a scope assignment control:

  • Administrators

  • Compliance managers who are managers on the parent control

  • Compliance managers who are managers on the scope assignment control

  • Users who are managers on the parent control

  • Users who are managers on the scope assignment control

  • Limited access users who are managers on the parent control

  • Limited access users who are managers on the scope assignment control


When working with the scopes feature, you can choose to add users either to the parent control or to the scope assignment control.
​

If you add a user to the parent control, they will also be added to each scope assignment control. Note that their image or initials will not appear in the scope assignment control's facepile; it only appears in Member Access > Inherited Access.
​

If you add a user to a scope assignment control, they will only be added to that specific control.
​

    Roles and permissions overview for objects

    Facepiles are found on all individual objects, such as risks, and in parent modules, such as the Risk Register. You can add a user to a specific object OR the entire module.

    Object roles include:

    • Managers

      • Can manage content, members, and settings

      • Can share, add, edit, or remove files

    • Contributors

      • Can share, add, edit, or remove files

      • Cannot add members or manage settings

    • Viewers

      • Can view information about objects where they are a member or have inherited access

      • Can export objects from the grid view if they are members of the objects or have inherited access

  8. Optionally, enter a message. This message is included in the email notification sent to the user letting them know that they are now a member.

  9. Click Add.

    The user or group is added to the scope assignment control.

    If notifications are enabled, an email is sent notifying the user or group members that they have been added.
