Roles

What each person can see and do, for the whole company or only some projects.

A role is a ladder of levels for each part of the app. Roles are shaped in Setup › Access › Roles, and given to people in Setup › Access › Users.

Shape a role

  1. Pick a role.
  2. For each row, choose None, Read, Write, Create or Delete. Each level includes the ones before it.
  3. Under Which projects, choose All projects or Only the projects they are on.
  4. Choose Save.

New role from this one copies a role to make your own. A role of your own can be deleted when nobody holds it.

Give a role

In Users, choose Give a role. Pick the person and the role, and Where it applies: The whole company, One part of the organisation, or Only some projects. Then choose Give the role.

Built-in roles

ProControl comes with Full Admin, Project manager, Team member, Cost controller, Organization manager, Specialization owner, Specialization lead and Viewer. Full Admin cannot be changed; copy it to make a role you can change.

The first person in a company is its Full Admin, and the last company-wide admin cannot be removed: Users marks them Only admin.

A person’s part on a project’s team (Lead, Member and the rest) is separate from their role: it says who leads the work, not what they can open.
