What is an action permission?
An action permission basically determines who can call an action (e.g., who may open the group calendar or the management lists).
The following permission types are available for action permissions:
Client Permission
The client permission allows various actions to be executed for all employees of the client. This is particularly useful for actions such as Booking, Monthly Journal, Settings, or Change Password.
Group Permission
The group permission allows various actions to be executed for a specific group (department).
It is also possible to extend the group permission to the subordinate groups. The subgroups then receive the same viewing permission as the parent group.
Person Permission
The person permission makes it possible for only a specific person to receive the viewing permission for certain actions.
Role Permission
The role permission allows various actions to be executed only for specific roles (team leader, department head, supervisor, ...). This permission enables role holders, for example, to view management lists. All role holders of the selected role in the organization thus receive the role permission and viewing permission.
If an action is added to the menu tree with several configurations, access to this action and its configurations follows a specific order: the system first checks whether the permission is assigned to a person; if not, it looks for a group permission. If there is no group permission, it looks for a role permission, and then for the client permission.
If a person permission is assigned, the action or configuration for which the permission exists is accessed.
The action permission can be assigned in the following ways:
