Permissions
Admin: Full Administration and No Code Development
This is the most powerful permission that exists. It has unlimited access to every page, it automatically has every permission and you can even build or delete blocs and modules with this permission. There is no higher level in a single instance and the only other one that exists is users that have the same access except over multiples instances with the same user.
Can Access the Admin Landing Page
This permission is designed to give someone access to the Admin and Development page, but without yet committing to giving them access to pages within it. You would use this as a way to control an admin who can do certain things, for example, if you want a person to be able to add Mail Alerts but cannot add users, you would give them this permission along with the "Can Access the Alerts Page" (See below).
It is the permission that allows this link to appear in the sidebar:
Can Manage Users/Profiles
This is a typical Administration permission. With this permission they can add, edit and delete users. They can also add roles to a user.
Please note: This permission is not enough for them to add permissions, change roles of users or create new roles. The reason for this is that we consider the ability to add permissions directly or create roles (that can then be added to users) a very high level permission. With this in place, a user who can simply add other users but they do not have the ability to create a user with Full Admin/No Code Development access. This restriction is useful for admins who you do not want to give too much access or responsibility to.
To Access this page, they also need access to the Admin Landing page using the "Can Access the Admin Landing Page" permission.
Manage User Roles
This permission allows someone to add/remove roles from a user. This obviously only applies to users who have the above role "Can Manage Users/Profiles".
Can Change Roles and permissions of users
This is a powerful permission. Somebody with this permissions can create new roles (with any permissions they want in those roles) or can simply add the most powerful of permissions to a user. This is for high access level admins.
Can Access the Data Look Up/Edit Page
This roles gives a user access to the Data Look Up/Edit Page Found in Manage Data.
Note: They cannot edit data with this permission, so they can only use the Look Up/Edit Data page for looking up records. They need the "Can Edit Data inside a Bloc" to be able to edit data.
Can Access the Alerts Page
This permission allows a user to create Mail Alerts.
To Access this page, they also need access to the Admin Landing page using the "Can Access the Admin Landing Page" permission.
Is not included in data restrictions set on Blocs.
When a user has this permission they can see all data in a bloc regardless of the various restrictions that may have been put in place. Restrictions might include the following:
Please be advised this is a powerful role in terms of what data an individual can see..
Raw Data and Count Reports
This permission allows users access to the Raw Data and Count Reports section.
Can Edit Data inside a Bloc
This allows users to edit data inside a bloc and edit data in the Data Lookup/Edit Page.
Please note, even without this role its possible to allow users to edit data in specific blocs with the bloc setting: Anybody can edit data in this bloc. This may be preferable for limited editing.
Can Can See Hidden Data
It's currently possible to hide data entirely from users inside a bloc. This permission makes an exception to this rule by allowing anyone with this role to see this data.
Can Submit Data even when Submit Data option Is disabled
It's currently possible to disable the ability to Submit Data in a bloc using the Bloc Setting: Cannot Submit Data. This completely prevents user submissions. However a user with this permission can continue to submit data. This is useful in blocs where some users only use it for looking up data but others are allowed to create new records.
Can still see blocs that are visually removed from the list.
It is currently possible to remove the visibility of blocs from a list of blocs in a module. This is different to completely preventing access to the bloc. It is a non-secure way of tidying up the look and layout of your module without preventing real access if they had the link. The user may still need to see this bloc as a Sub Bloc, or you may want to create a separate link to this bloc. This removal process can be done using this bloc setting.
This permission is designed to override this feature, it is mainly for admins who still need to see the bloc in the module even if other users cannot see it.
Can See Export All Data Button in Bloc
It is currently possible to hide the Export All Data button in a bloc by using the bloc setting Hide Export All Data Button. This permission overrides this.
Can unlock Filtered Fields
It is currently possible to lock in filtering that occurs as a result of the Data Filtering Field parameter. This can be done by clicking the option : Force data filter fields for those without permission.
This option forces users to only see data filtered based on the value of a field that is set (for example a company name). They may have no control over changing this, thus you can prevent other data from being seen by forcing a "lock" on this filter.
This permission overrides this lock and allows the user to continue to change the filters in the bloc.
