Roles are sets of permissions. The Role management function allows you to define any number of roles to which you can then assign the Forsta Plus users. This makes it possible to differentiate between users with respect to the functionality to which they should have access.
For example, on Forsta's SaaS servers, a number of roles have been pre-defined, for example:
- Translator User – has access to the Translator module only.
- SysAdmins - a system administrator.
- ProS – a more advanced user with administration permissions, for Professional Services and R&D Departments.
- Normal – a normal Forsta Plus license with most of the functionality.
- Express User – has access to Forsta Express only.
- CATI Supervisor – can supervise CATI projects.
- CAPI Activation User – can generate the CAPI/Kiosk activation files.
To create a new Role, in the Role Management list (Admin > Accounts > Roles), click the New Role button in the upper-right corner of the window. Type in a name for the role, then click Save.
In the Role Management list, click on a blue Name link to open the management overlay for that role. Here you can add and remove permissions as required such that users with the selected role will be able to perform the appropriate tasks.
