How do permissions work?
A Permission defines the tasks that a staff member is allowed to perform in Rescue Hub.
The Permissions screen can be found by clicking the Staff menu item, then clicking the Permissions link.
Each Permission has the following options:
Site Administrator
Site Administrators can manage all aspects of Rescue Hub.
Training Entry
Determines whether a staff member is permitted to Record Training or Manage Training.
- Manage Training: granted to anyone allowed to make changes to training entries after they have been added to the system.
- Record Training: allow an individual to add new training entries into Rescue Hub, but does not allow them to make changes after they have been entered
- None: individual will only be able to mark individual Tasks as complete, no other Rescue Hub training entry permissions are allowed.
Typically a company officer is given Record Training permissions, which allows them to enter training into the system, but does not allow them to change training once it has been entered. Anyone who is allowed to make changes to training entries after they have been added to the system should be granted Manage Training permissions.
Manages Calendars
If you use the Calendar feature, which allows calendar entries to be color coded and categorized, you can grant access to calendar entries of a particular type.
Has Training Requirements
This permission enables the staff member to be assigned to a Task or Requirement. Administrative staff may not need this permission.
Manages Requirements
This permission allows an individual to add, edit, and delete Requirements.
Manages Users
This permission allows an individual to add, edit, and delete users, as well as manage a user's groups.
Manages Classes & Quizzes
This permission allows an individual to add, edit, and delete classes & quizzes.
Manages All Task Books
Each task book type can have its own permissions, so that individuals can administer specific task book types. This permission allows an individual to manage all task books.
A new Organization will have three pre-defined Permissions: Firefighter, Captain/BC, and Administrator. These can be edited or deleted, and new ones can be added in their place, depending on your organization.
Permissions do not necessarily need to match up with the Ranks that are defined for your organization.
