Permissions in Skills Base are controlled via a combination of Security Group Privileges and (optionally) Team membership.
Security Groups
Security Groups define the privileges that a person is granted. These privileges include the ability to view, edit and delete different record types, and the ability to access parts of the system. Anyone that can log in to Skills Base must be assigned a Security Group, and a person can only have one Security Group at any one time.
Granting a person access to a team that they are not a member of
The easiest and recommended way to grant people access to a team is to simply make them a member of that team. To do this you can either drag people into the desired team via the Team Directory Tree view, or you can edit the person's record and set the desired team in their "Team" field.
If a person requires access to multiple teams, the easiest way to achieve that is to simply make them a member of a parent team that includes the desired teams as sub teams.
However, sometimes it is not desirable to make a person a member of a parent team, or to have certain teams under the same parent team (one reason could be reporting requirements). In that case, Skills Base provides the ability to grant specific people access to specific teams. That way a person's privileges will apply not only to the team that they are a member of, but also specific discreet teams that you grant them access to. To do this:
-
Edit the team you wish to grant the person access to
-
In the "Additional people granted access" section click "Add a person"
-
Click "Add" button in the list corresponding to the person you wish to grant access
-
Save the team.
