There are 5 roles available for users in Workfacta, and they have different permissions on the Platform:

The role that you have will be designated by the Enterprise Admins or Admins of the company.

Enterprise Admin

The first person who signed up on the Platform within an account is made an Enterprise Admin by default.

Enterprise Admins

  • have access to the Setup page on the main menu

  • have full permissions to manage teams, users, and companies on the Platform

  • have access to the billing information of the account, meaning that they can control account payment

  • have access to all the companies within the account, if there are multiple companies set up

Example: Yum Z, the Enterprise Admin in the Management Team has access to the Billing and Upgrade options

Enterprise Admin has access to the Billing and Upgrade options

Because Enterprise Admins have access to the billing information of the account, there must be at least one Enterprise Admin within an account for billing purposes. However, there is no maximum limit on how many Enterprise Admins can be within one account.

Admin

The Admin role is designated by the Enterprise Admins or Admins when they invite users onto the Platform. The Admin permissions are pre-defined, and there is no customisable permission setting for the Admin role.

Admins

  • have access to the Setup page on the main menu

  • have full permissions to manage teams, users, and companies on the Platform just like Enterprise Admins

  • only have admin access to their home company if there are multiple companies set up

Example: Keiko H, the Admin in the Management Team does not have access to the Billing and Upgrade options

Admin doesn't has access to the Billing and Upgrade options

The key difference between an Enterprise Admin's and an Admin's permission on the Platform is the access to the billing information.

There is no limit on how many Admins can be within one account.

User

The User role is designated by the Enterprise Admins or Admins when they invite users onto the Platform. The User permissions are pre-defined, but Enterprise Admins and Admins can edit a User's permission.

Users

  • don't have access to the Setup page on the main menu

  • by default can see, create and edit Actions, Goals, Numbers, Reports, and Discussions items, but cannot delete any items to ensure team accountability

  • have access to New Meeting, Meeting Archive, and Team Performance pages

The User permissions by default can see and edit all items, but Enterprise Admins and Admins can edit the permissions on a per-user basis. To edit a User's permission:

  1. go to Setup page > Users

  2. Select and edit the user whose role is User

  3. Click on "Permissions" and edit

Example: edit permissions for Connor L, a User in the Management Team

Associate

The Associate role is designated by the Enterprise Admins or Admins when they invite users onto the Platform. Usually, a user with an Associate role on the Platform is not a member of the team, therefore, the Associate's permissions are very limited.

Associates

  • only have access to the Home page

  • only can see and update items assigned to them on the Dashboard

  • only can edit the Dashboard with "My Week", "Next Week", and "Overdue Actions" widgets

Example: Cat P, Associate in the Management Team, can only update through Dashboard

Users in Associate role can only see the Home page

The Associate permissions are pre-defined, and there is no customisable permission setting for the Associate role.

There is no limit on how many Associates can be within one account.

Advisor

The Advisor role is designated by the Enterprise Admins or Admins when they invite users onto the Platform.

Usually, a user in an Advisor role is the one who is not part of the company but helps with the operation of the company. Therefore, similar to Users, Advisors have access to the team to which they are invited on the Platform, but don't have access to set up the company.

Advisor

  • don't have access to the Setup page on the main menu

  • by default can see, create and edit Actions, Goals, Numbers, Reports, and Discussions items, but cannot delete any items

  • have access to New Meeting, Meeting Archive, and Team Performance pages

Example: Uri Y, Advisor in the Management Team, can see and update, but does not have access to the Setup page

A user in Advisor role does not have access to the Setup page

The Advisor permissions are pre-defined, and there is no customisable permission setting for the Advisor role.

There is no limit on how many Advisors can be within one account.
