Users and Permissions

Adding Users

Users can be added by the System Manager. To add users go to: Home > Users and Permissions > User

There are two main types of users:

Website users: Customers, Suppliers, Students, etc., who have access only to the portal and not to any modules. System Users: People using WISE MRP in the Company with access to modules, company data, etc.

Under User, a lot of info can be entered. For the sake of usability, the information entered for web users is minimal: First Name and Email.

An Email address is the unique key (ID) identifying the Users.

How to Create a New User:

  1. Go to the User list, click on New.
  2. Add an Email address and name of the user.
  3. Save.

Users And Permissions

In WISE MRP, you can create multiple users and assign them different roles.

A role is a set of permissions assigned to a user so that they can access the documents they need to. For example, a sales employee will need access to sales transactions but will not have access to approve leaves.

Some users can only access the public-facing part of WISE MRP (i.e. a portal view). Such users are called “Website Users”. “System Users” will have access to modules and can access documents as per the roles set.

WISE MRP implements permission control at the User and Role level. Each user in the system can be assigned multiple roles and permissions. The most important role is “System Manager”. Any user having this role can add other users and set roles for all users.

Role and Role Profile

A Role defines the permissions for accessing various documents in WISE MRP.

Roles define a set of permissions which can be set from the Roles Permission Manager. Most commonly used roles are already defined in WISE MRP, you can use the system with them. If needed, you can add more roles. For example, if you assign the Sales User role to a user, they’ll be able to access documents like Quotations and Sales Orders since the permissions are already set for the role Sales User.

Role profiles store different roles so that multiple roles can be assigned at once.

Role Profiles act as a template to store and select multiple roles. This Role Profile can then be assigned to a User.  For example, a Sales Supervisor will have the roles Employee, Sales Manager, Sales User, and Sales Master Manager. Role Profiles are useful to assign multiple roles at once when adding multiple employees.

To access Role, go to: Home > Users and Permissions > Role

How to add a Role:

  1. Go to the Role list, click on New.
  2. Enter a name for the Role.
  3. Choose whether the Role has desk access. A role that has desk access can access WISE MRP modules and the company’s documents. The level of access depends on the roles assigned to the user.
  4. Save.
