Understanding Admin User Roles
When setting up users in BuildPass, you must assign them a role that defines their level of access and responsibilities. There are three primary Admin User Roles, each with distinct permissions:
Owner
Has full control over all projects, features, and user management.
You can add or remove any user (except other owners).
Best suited for senior staff like Directors, Department Heads, and HSEQ Managers.
Manager
Has unrestricted access to all projects and platform features.
You can add and remove Project Managers and other Managers but cannot remove Owners.
Ideal for mid-level managers responsible for overseeing multiple projects.
Project Manager
Can only access the specific projects assigned to them.
Cannot add or remove users.
Receives notifications only for the projects they are assigned to.
This hierarchy ensures that Owners have the highest control, followed by Managers and then Project Managers, who have limited project-specific access.
Assigning Projects to Project Managers
To grant a Project Manager access to specific projects:
Select the Project Manager Role
While setting up a user, choose Project Manager as their role.
Assign Projects
A field called Assigned Projects will appear. Use it to define which projects the Project Manager can access.
Search by Project Name – Type the project name to locate and assign it.
Browse the Project List – Scroll through the available projects and select the relevant ones.
Why Assigning Projects Matters
A Project Manager can only access the projects they are assigned to. Without at least one assigned project, they will log in to BuildPass and see no available projects, which can cause confusion. Ensuring proper assignment allows them to manage their work efficiently and receive project-related updates.
Optimizing Admin Role Assignments
By carefully assigning Admin User Roles, you can ensure each team member has the appropriate level of access to BuildPass, improving project oversight and user management.
