Roles and Permissions
The Roles and Permissions screen will display the organization’s roles and a breakdown of the permissions assigned to each role. Roles are hierarchical so a Manager has all the permissions a User has, and an Admin has all the permissions of both Manager and User.
Each role has a set of permissions associated with it. You have the flexibility to decide what each of those roles mean within your organization. For example, the "Create new groups" permission, which allows a user to create a new group, can be limited to just Admins and Managers. An Admin will always have full access to Organization Management to manage all users, settings, and integrations. It is recommended that you limit the number of persons with the Admin role.
Roles and Permissions screen.
System Permissions
System Permissions are being controlled by the system and cannot be changed directly. This usually happens if your organization is syncing with an external system such as Canvas, Blackboard, Okta, etc. In that case, some of these permissions may not be editable in order to ensure that your Pronto organization properly stays in sync with that system.
System Permissions.
Permissions List Definitions
Depending on which features are enabled in your organization the permissions list could display differently than the example shown above. If you are missing any permissions from the list below please talk to your organization’s administrator.
Create New Groups
Will toggle the “Create New Group” option throughout Pronto, which allows the user to create additional groups. This option will not affect direct messaging which is controlled using the "Start direct messages" permission.
Create New Groups permission.
Search for any Person in the Organization
Will control the available options in the Person Search fields throughout Pronto.
If enabled, the user can select any of the options, including the "Entire Organization" which will allow the field to search for anyone in the entire organization.
Search for any person in the organization permission enabled.
If disabled, the user will be limited to Connections only, which will only search people in the existing groups with the person.
Search for any person in the organization permission disabled.
Send Organization-Wide and Group-Level Announcements
Both of these permissions control the Announcement Types that the user will be allowed to use.
The “Send organization-wide announcements” permission will allow the user the ability to only send an announcement to the entire organization.
If only this permission is enabled, the New Announcement panel will automatically be defaulted to Organization Announcement only.
Only organization-wide announcement permission enabled.
The “Send Group-Level announcements” permission will only allow the user to send an announcement to one or multiple groups.
Only Group announcement permission enabled.
If both permissions are enabled the user will be presented with an additional panel allowing them to select the announcement type as well as the ability to switch at any time during the creation process.
Both announcement permissions enabled.
Start Direct Messages
Controls whether the user can initiate a direct message with another user. If a person does not have this permission the primary "Direct Message" option will be removed from the Pronto interface.
Start direct messages permission.
Users may still see some "Message" options in the app when viewing a person preview card, but when they tap them, they will get a permissions error.
Please note that this permission controls only who can start a direct message conversation. For example, if this permission is set to Manager then a manager may begin the initial direct message conversation with a User, but after it has started, then the user may send messages back to the manager from that point on.
If you change this value, existing direct message conversations will not be affected.
