Security groups offer a fine level of control over the features and information users interact with when using Felix.

The features available within Felix can be restricted based on the permissions they require. Permissions are granted separately for each security group to allow users to perform certain actions within the platform.

 

TIP: Staff users can belong to more than one security group simultaneously. This can be useful for granting temporary permissions to a specific user or where users require the intermittent elevation of permissions.

 

Global security groups

Felix provides three out-of-the-box Global Security Groups available to every organisation using Felix. These roles cannot be edited and provide a base permissions structure.
 

TIP: To learn more about global security groups and which permissions are granted to each group, you can read our guide, Global Security Groups Permissions.

 

Custom security groups

Custom security groups offer a flexible structure that can better suit an organisation's business roles and needs.

Organisation administrator users can create additional security groups which can then be assigned to staff users within Felix. Staff users can belong to one or more groups depending on the structure and specific requirements of the organisation.

Some examples of the security groups your organisation may wish to consider are:

• Contract administrator
• Project administrator
• Finance
• Site Supervisor
• Data Entry

 

TIP: You can learn more about creating custom security groups in our guide, How to Configure Security Groups.
