There are four default roles in Simply Stakeholders:

  • Administrator - Complete access, including the admin menu. Access to this role should be limited to key staff members who will be responsible for the initial configuration and on-going site maintenance. This role can add and remove users;

    create user roles to restrict some users; and add projects/projects groups.

  • Project User - Read/write/delete access, should be assigned to general users; includes limited access to the Admin Menu. This role can import records; create records; create and send Group Mail; create filters/save filters; create and assign Tasks; create reports.

    Can see All Project mode but NOT All Project Group Mode - what a user sees is dependent on what they have been given access to.

  • User without delete – Limited access to read and edit data only. The User can add data but cannot delete content.

  • Read-only - Very limited access, intended to be used by third party staff who may need to be linked to records or assigned follow-up tasks

Custom Roles

Administrators have the ability to create custom roles for each or all of the projects. For example, a role can be created for a User who requires Administrator access in one project, and Read-only access in another project. Please note that Confidentiality levels must be created first in a separate setting before it can be assigned to a role.

  1. Navigate to the Admin menu

  2. Click on Roles, located in the Users & Roles column

  3. Click on the + icon to add a new role.

  4. Name the role, and tick the relevant access levels for each project/s and save.

Project Specific Administrator Role

Project specific Administrator Roles can be created in multi-project accounts. This will give the assigned User access to all the Administrator functions in the assigned project. If a User is given a Project Specific Administrator Role, the default roles will be automatically deactivated. To create a Project Specific Administrator Role;

  1. Navigate to the Admin menu

  2. Click on Roles, located in the Users & Roles column

  3. Click on the + icon and Add a new role

  4. Input the Role Name and assign Admin access to the specific Project

  5. Click Save

  6. Navigate to Users, assign the role to the relevant User
