Issues Module: Configuring Roles/Permissions in an Issue Category for User Accessibility & Visibility

If you have not setup Account Roles/Permissions, you can find the option to create those in the Issues Module Settings.

• Creating and Managing Account Roles and Permissions

When you click on the  button, a window will appear on the right side. It lists all possible permissions that can be assigned within an Issue. Each permission is followed by a drop-down that will include all the roles that you have created in Issue module settings.  Roles/Permissions setup within the category are specific to that category and do not carry over to other Issue Categories.

Creating & Managing Roles/Permissions

• Can Edit All Settings In This Category - a user will be able to edit any settings particular to the specific category
• Can See All Issues (Read Only Access) - a user will have read only access to see all Issues and active or completed Tasks under the specific category, the user will not be able to edit. 
• Can Edit Active Stage of Any Issue - a user will be able to edit any active stage in an Issue that falls under this category
• Can Edit Completed Stages of Any Issue (Super Editor) - a user will be able to access Super Editor mode and edit completed stages of an Issue in the category, we urge you to assign this sparingly
• Can Create New Issues - a user will be able to create Issues under the specific category
