Set up permission groups

You can set up permission groups to control which staff members have access to different Onvio features.

Before you start

  • You need to be logged in as a staff member with administrative permissions to add and edit permission groups.
  • If you're the Onvio Primary Admin, add yourself to permission groups.
  • You can add a staff member to more than one permission group. They’ll have every permission granted by those groups combined.
  • We recommend adding a new permission group for staff who need permission to access confidential contacts.

Add a new permission group

  1. In Onvio Centre, select Setup, then Permission groups.
  2. Select Add to create a new permission group and open Step 1: Name and Description.
  3. Add a
    Name
     and
    Description
     for the permission group.
  4. Continue to
    Step 2: Functionality
     using either Next or by selecting the step at the top of the screen.
  5. Open each tab and assign permission levels for Onvio applications to members of this group.
    note
    • Select
      Nothing
       to deny members access to an application.
    • Select
      Everything
       to grant members complete access to an application.
    • Select
      Custom
       to pick and choose permissions for each application. A custom permission level lets you select either
      Disable

       access to each feature.
    • We have example permission group settings available if you're not sure what to select.

    Step 3: Data
     using either Next or by selecting the step at the top of the screen.

      , group members won’t be able to see any confidential contact data or clients.

      Selected Contacts
      , you can specify if group members can see
      Non-confidential contacts
       and/or
      Confidential Contacts
      .

        All confidential contacts

System groups

Onvio provides two built-in permission groups and adds the Onvio Primary Admin to both automatically. You can't edit or delete these groups but you can add or remove members.
  • Administrative Permissions
    : Members of this group have administrator access to all permission groups, including the ability to create new groups and to assign permissions to staff. Use this group for the firm administrator and top-level leaders (for example, the owner, partners, and/or senior executives).
    The Onvio Primary Admin can’t be removed from this group.
  • All Functionality and Non-confidential Data
    : Members of this group have permissions for all licenced functions in Onvio, but only for clients and contacts who aren’t confidential.
