Lucidity Contractor: Module Overview  |
Lucidity Contractor can be used as part of a Contractor Onboarding process that includes employee induction, plant registration and entry and recording of licences and certificates. The system manages insurances, pre-qualifications and other key documents and can be used to generate a preferred suppliers register and share performance and status. Contractors can be self-managed or managed by the organisation's team members.

CONTRACTOR ACCESS ROLES
Users are given different permission levels based upon their access requirements. Permissions for all Lucidity applications are set via Lucidity Access and are generally configured by the system administrator. The standard roles typically provided in all new Lucidity system builds are as follows. These can be edited by system administrators as required.
USER ROLE | ROLE DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Read Only | Using Contractor, a user can view contractor details and documents; download attachments and run reports |
| Contractor Representative - only submit required documents | Using Contractor, a contractor representative can view and download documents, upload specified documents only and view all subcontractor details and limited contractor details (scoping required to specific company) |
| Contractor Representative - submit additional documents | Using Contractor, a contractor representative can add, view and download documents and view all subcontractor details and limited contractor details (scoping required to specific company) |
| Manager | Using Contractor, a user can approve, add, view, edit, delete and download contractor documents; manage contractors, view their employees and run reports (cannot delete) |
| Administrator | Administrator role for Contractor |
Additional roles (for example, to allow contractors to create subcontractors in Lucidity HR, enter documents for employees or complete eLearn training in Lucidity Competency, complete forms in InForm, enter incident details in Lucidity Incident) may also be required, dependant on organisational needs. Details on suggested additional roles can be found in the Access Roles page in the Lucidity Access user guide.
Read Only
End-users may be given read only to Lucidity Contractor in order to allow them to view contractors, their company details and associated documents as well as the ability to run reports.
Contractor Representative
By accessing Lucidity Contractor, contractors can assign a representative who is responsible for uploading and managing their own documents.
There are two different roles which can be assigned to contractor representatives, one allowing them to only submit documents required (as deemed by the organisation) or the other which allows them to submit additional documentation above the standard requirements.
| Warning | ||

It is important that accounts created for contractors are scoped, to ensure that they can only access their own company records. If unsure, it is best to test the account to ensure that the correct access has been created prior to sending the details to the contractor for them to log in. |
Manager

Lucidity Contractor: Manager Access
|
The Contractor manager role may not always be assigned to managers within the business but is more a management of the system role, often given to those who are responsible for managing certain contractor companies. Managers will be able to manage all aspects of contractors and their documents, including reporting, but will be unable to delete them. With correct scoping applied, they will only be able to view specified contractors.
Managers will generally have permissions to:
- View and edit contractor company details, including company classification
- View contractor employees, including training records
- View and approve contractor documents
The Menu and Tab options relevant for managers are:
- Contractors Menu
- Documents Menu
- Contractor Tab
