Assigning User Permissions

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to assign user permissions.

User Permissions Overview

User permissions define what actions individual users can perform within the system. Administrators assign these permissions based on roles and responsibilities, ensuring users can access only the features and data relevant to their work. By managing user permissions effectively, you’re able to maintain control, enhance security, and streamline business processes.

Once you create a user’s profile, you can import or manually assign additional administrative permissions to it in User Administration > User Permissions. You can access this section with the Role Administrator permission. Each product has specific permissions that allow you to configure the site, although some permissions are shared.

The image displays an Expense user roles administration page with tabs for Travel, Expense, Request, Invoice, and Reporting. Save and Cancel buttons appear at the top. Step 1 lets you modify roles by User Name. Step 2 shows a Search Text field with filters for Search What (Name, Email, Log-in), Active Status (All), and Employee Group access (All Users I Can Access), plus a Search button. Step 3 asks you to select a user name to assign roles. A Roles section lists Available Roles, Roles for this User, and Groups, with Add, Modify, and Remove buttons.

The Search text field lets you search for profiles using an employee’s name, email, login, and employee ID. The employee login, email, and employee ID are the most unique fields you can use. You can also use the percent sign "%" for wild card searching. Additionally, you can search by the Roles assigned. While Travel, Expense, Request and Invoice permissions are immediately available for users, reporting permissions are available within the following 24 hours.

Assign User Permissions

To assign user permissions:

Steps

  1. select User Permissions.

    The image displays a Company Admin Home screen for User Administration. A top menu shows tabs for Travel, Expense, Request, Invoice, and Reporting. The main panel lets you search for a user by name, email, or log in, filter by active status, and click Search. Save and Cancel buttons appear at the top. Step prompts guide you to choose how to modify roles, enter search text, and select a user to assign roles. A Roles section lists Available Roles, Roles for this User, and Groups with Add, Modify, and Remove buttons. A left sidebar lists links for User Administration, Add User, Self-Registration Setup, Self-Registration Approval, Send Mobile Instructions, and User Permissions.
  2. Use the search fields and filters to find the user, and then select the user from the User Name to Assign Roles menu.

    The image displays an administrative web page for assigning user roles in the Expense module. A magenta box highlights the search panel with fields to modify roles by user name, enter search text, choose search type, set active status, and filter by employee group, plus a Search button. The selected user field shows “Admin, Kate.” Below, a Roles section shows three columns: Available Roles, Roles for this User, and Groups, with Add, Modify, and Remove buttons. Sample items list roles like App Center Listing Administrator and Attendee Administrator, and groups like Global, United States, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, and United Kingdom. Save and Cancel buttons sit at the top.
  3. Select the desired roles and then select Add, Modify, or Remove as needed. When done, select Save.

    The image displays an Expense module user administration screen in a web app. A pink outline highlights the Save button near the top. Another pink outline highlights the Roles area that lists Available Roles, Roles for this User, and Groups with Add, Modify, and Remove buttons. Filters appear above to modify roles by user name, enter search text, select search type, set active status, and limit by employee group. The selected user field shows “Admin, Kate.”
