Permission Templates

Upon employee creation, you'll have the option to apply the Default Permission Sets from the User Type drop-down menu:

1. In the left navigation bar, select Team > Employees. Once on the Employees page, find the user you would like to update and click on their profile to expand it.
   
   
2. Click Permissions, on the left-hand menu.
   
   
3. Click Reset to template settings:
   
   The user's permissions will update and match the template that you had set up for this user level-type:
   
   

Quickly manage the users that are assigned to a template in a few simple clicks!

1. In the left navigation bar, hover over the 7shifts logo > click on Company Settings > User Permissions tab:
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the pencil icon , next to the user type you would like to make changes to.
   
   
3. A list of employees that are assigned to this template will appear on the right.
   To navigate this list, you can use the search bar to find a specific employee, or use the arrows to flip through the pages (each page view will list 15 users).
   
   
   
   
   1. To add unique permissions for a single user. Click on the More options icon    next to a user's name > View profile, and you'll be redirected to their individual user profile. From here, you can further customize their unique permissions in addition to the permissions set by the template:
      
      

          ⚠️ Please note: any unique permissions, in addition to the template, are only assigned to the user - and do not make any changes to the template itself or other users on it.  

      
      
      
      
      
   2. To add multiple users to this template, click on + Assign.
      
      
      
      Next, use the search bar or arrows to locate specific employees, and click the checkboxes to select the user(s) to be added. 
      
      
      
      When you're ready, click Assign x employees to complete these changes!
      
      If there are no users assigned to this template, you will instead click Assign employees:
      
      
      

      ⚠️ Please note

      New accounts will show every user (for example, every Manager) because adding a new employee will automatically assign them to this template:
      
      
      
      

When making updates to a Permission Template, you will have the option to propagate the changes to all the assigned users at the same time.

1. In the left navigation bar, hover over the 7shifts logo > click on Company Settings > User Permissions tab:
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the pencil icon , next to the template you would like to make changes to
   
   
3. Make any necessary changes to the default permissions. Depending on your user type, you'll be create a maximum number of templates:
   
   
   • Level 1 (Admin) has all permissions by default and cannot be customized.
   • Level 2 (Managers) and Level 3 (Assistant Managers) can have up to 10 permission templates each.
   • Level 4 (Employees) does not allow customized permissions.
4. Click Save.
   
   
5. In the Update assigned users pop-up window, you can review the added Permissions and the users that are currently assigned to the user type (for example, a list of all users that were given a Manager user type):
   
   
   
   
6. Select the users you would like to add these permissions to, or checkmark All assigned users to select them all:
   
   
   
   
7. Click Save & update selected users to complete these changes.
   
   You have successfully updated the template and the permissions of the selected users!

The hierarchy of access control between users is determined by their respective levels.

When it comes to levels, a higher level equates to greater access. Level 1 provides the highest level of authority/access, while level 4 has no authority/access.

Let's say, Ayana, Lukas, and Liam have all submitted time off requests for the holiday season.

• Aleya (Level 1) can approve all levels and their time off requests.
• Ayana (Level 2) can approve Lukas' (Level 3) and Liam's (Level 4) time off requests.
• Lukas (Level 3) can approve Liam's (Level 4) time off request.
• Liam (Level 4) will not be able to approve any time off requests.

A User Type refers to the position that an employee holds within your organization - separate from Roles which are used for scheduling purposes. User types are used to group employees with similar access needs and permissions together, making it easier to control their level of access to 7shifts features and functions.

For example, Ayana (Level 2) is tasked to create a user profile for new hire Lukas Johnson. He needs to be a Department Manager (Level 3).

When creating a profile, Ayana will see only see the options for Level 3 & 4 user types in the Employee Type dropdown. The reason Ayana is limited to these options is because :

• users that share the same Level cannot access each other's profiles 
• users can only access profiles from the level below them

Once Lukas has been assigned Department Manager, Lukas receives the level + permission set that comes along with the user type. 

These are the set of permissions that you've given to a user to determine which features they have access to. You can bulk edit them with Permission Templates.

Otherwise, navigate to a user's unique permissions by heading to Team > click on an Employee's name > select Permissions on the left-hand menu:

When creating multiple Permission Templates, levels 1 & 4 have a limit of 1 template per user type. While levels 2 & 3 can have a maximum of 10 templates for each user type.
