About role-based security

You set up role-based security to define the type of access you want to give certain employees to the various task and dashboard functions in Ajera.

Ajera automatically contains default roles, such as Employee and Administrator. You must assign at least one employee to Administrator, which gives that person full rights to the system. The administrator has access to all employee user IDs and passwords and to all options, tasks, reports, inquiries, and dashboard designer functions.

Select roles for employees

A role can consist of a single employee or a group of employees for which you want to allow the same type of access. When setting up an employee, select the roles that apply to that employee.

If you assign multiple roles to an employee, the tasks and information that person can access is determined by the role with the greatest access. For example, if a person has the roles of Employee and Project Manager, the Project Manager security settings take precedence over the Employee security settings.

The exception to this is the Project Command Center. In the Project Command Center, if a role has Allow changes to my projects only checked, that takes precedence.
