Roles and Privileges

Users in Fringe Benefit Tax are assigned specific roles. Each role is assigned a specific set of privileges. Administrators define the privileges for each role.
  1. Select
    Administration > Roles and Privileges
     from the navigation bar.
  2. In the
    Privileges for role
     dropdown, select the role you want to define.
  3. Use the
    +
     and
    -
     controls to open and close the collapsible sections. The values in the
    Access
     column show whether this role has read only, read and write permission, or no access.
In the following example, users with this role:
  • Can view and edit cost centres.
  • Can view declarations.
  • Cannot view or edit employees.

Specialised Roles

Specialised roles can be added and allocated to users. For example, an organisation administrator may prefer a user not to have access to the Loan workpaper as it contains executives’ details and creates a new role of FBT Preparer 2 without access to that workpaper.
  1. Select
    Administration
    , then
    Roles & Privileges
     from the navigation bar.
  2. Select the
    Add
     button.
  3. Use the
    +
     and
    -
     controls to open and close the collapsible sections. The values in the
    Access
     column show whether this role has read only, read and write permission, or no access.
  4. For each function in each section, select the
    Read
    ,
    Read & Write
    , or
    None
     buttons.

Reporting Entities

Reporting Entities can be placed into
Groups
 and these groups can have their own access set. If a User accesses the ATO return for a reporting entity in a group that they haven't been granted access they will receive an 'Insufficient Reporting Entity access' message. This is because the Reporting Entity belongs to (is child of) a reporting group they don't have access to. A workaround (if required) is to set at least read access for that user for the group. Thereafter, if that user opens the ATO return for a reporting entity in the group structure, they will not get an access warning.

If an organisation administrator changes the role or organisation access status of another user and they do not have full access to all the organisations assigned to that other user, they cannot grant access to these organisations.
