Overview
In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), roles are similar to job titles that you can create and assign to your users. When you create a role, you can populate that role with specific permissions. These permissions determine the type of access a user has in AMP. For example, you can create an Accounting role, and then you can add specific permissions to only give the user access to accounting-related features in AMP, such as the permission to view and edit the Invoices screen.
When you create a new user, you must assign that user account a role.
By default, Armor offers three default roles with specific permissions already enabled:
- Admin
- Technical
- Billing
For your convenience, when you create a new user, you can assign a default role to the new user; however, you cannot edit the permissions within these default roles.
You can also create a new role, and then populate that role with your specified permissions.
Create a role and add permissions
Assign a role to an existing user account
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Under the name of the role, click Members.
- Click Edit Members.
- Select and drag the desired user to the Chosen column.
- Click the X at the top, right corner.
Update a permission for a role
Remember, when you update the permissions for a role, the users assigned to that role will automatically be able to use the newly added permissions.
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Select or deselect the desired permissions.
- Click Save Role.
Remove a role for a newly created or existing user
After you create a user account with an assigned role, the new user will receive an email to complete the login process. During this time, the account administrator has limited access to that user account; however, the account administrator can still update roles and permissions for the new user.
- In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Account.
- Click Roles + Permissions.
- In the search bar, enter the name of the newly created user, and then hit Enter. The table shows a list of roles associated with that user.
- Locate and select the desired role.
- Under the name of the role, click Members.
- Click Edit Members.
- Select and drag the desired user to the Chosen column.
- Click the X at the top, right corner.
