PROFILES

Profiles allow a group of access roles to be applied to a user via one simple selection. Assigning a profile to a user streamlines the process of allocating users their system access requirements. This means assigning a single profile can automatically give a user access to every part of the system they require.

Video: Permissions Overview

Profiles:

  • are an umbrella used to group multiple roles together

  • can be edited and all changes made will flow down to all the users assigned that profile

  • can be comprised of any number of roles from multiple modules.

If a user has a profile allocated, then:

  • they cannot be allocated a second profile

  • it takes precedent over any individual roles the user may have been previously assigned as the user’s roles are now set to match the profile

  • they cannot be assigned individual roles - users can be assigned roles OR profiles, not both.

For more information specifically related to roles, refer to the Access Roles page within this user guide.

The Profiles Page

The Profile page lists all the access profiles that can be assigned to users.

From the Profiles page, administrators can:

  • Add and edit profiles

  • Add users to profiles

  • Report on profiles

Standard Profiles

Standard profiles will be configured within each new Lucidity site build. System administrators are then able to adjust as required. Typically, the following standard profiles will be provided.

Edit Profile

To edit an existing profile, from the Profiles page:

  1. Locate the specific profile using relevant filters

  2. Click 'Edit' to the far right of the profile

     

  3. Adjust fields as required

  4. Click 'Save'

Default Profile

Default profiles can be created so all new users are automatically assigned a particular profile. Note this will apply to ALL user accounts in the system. It is recommended only General User profiles are used by default. Any user requiring additional access will need to have their profile manually updated.

Default profiles can be created for the different ways user profiles are added to the system. As in the example below, the following is recommended:

  • Access - for all user accounts created directly within Lucidity Access (including API), a GENERAL USER profile is advised

  • HR - for all user accounts created directly within Lucidity HR, a GENERAL USER profile is advised

  • Induction - it is not typically advised to use any default profile for user accounts created within Lucidity Induction.

    • The self-registration process assigns the relevant permissions automatically.

    • If a user requires additional access, it is recommended this is applied on a case-by-case basis.

    • Once a self-registered user is converted or approved from Lucidity Induction, their profile will be added to Lucidity HR in which case the HR default profile will be assigned.

Delete Profile

Only profiles with no users allocated will be available to delete. If a profile is no longer required, edit the profile and remove all users first. The delete option will then become available.

To delete an existing profile, from the Profiles page:

  1. Locate the specific profile using relevant filters

  2. Click 'Actions' to the far right of the role

  3. Click ‘Delete’

     

  4. Click ‘Ok’ to confirm deletion
