Enate allows for a granular level of granting access to people based on their role and business requirements.
This is done by assigning a role to a user. Each role has a number of access options configured for it which determine what they can see and do in Enate. Every user must have a Work Manager role, but only the users who need to access Builder need to have a Builder role.
Watch this video to find out more:
There are a number of standard pre-configured roles available that give your users various levels of access to Work Manager and Builder.
If a standard role doesn't quite fit the bill, you can create custom roles that allow you to fine-tune levels of access to give users the exact combination of access levels they need.
Custom roles might be particularly useful in the following circumstances:
In Work Manager: You may wish to create a custom role for your more senior team members which falls part-way between the standard 'Team Leader' and 'Team Member' roles, giving them access to some Team Leader-like features without needing to have them fulfil that role entirely.
In Builder: Custom roles can be very useful in larger organizations where you might want to delegate e.g. user management or localized Case/Ticket maintenance access in Builder to more local resources, while keeping shared configuration activities for master data to a more select few people.
You can assign the relevant roles to a user in the Service Agents section of Builder by:
Clicking to edit a user and then selecting the relevant roles from their access tab OR
Clicking on the user's role directly from the grid of user accounts, on the 'Operational Role' or 'Builder Role' column. This will then bring up the user's access tab:
Users can be given two roles: they must have an Operational role which grants them access to the relevant features in Work Manager and, if they need to access Enate Builder, they can be given a Builder role too. This Builder Role will give them access to build and maintain the data which underpins your business processes in Enate. The majority of your user base will likely be assigned with just an operational role, but your administrators, business analysts and some operational super users will also be assigned a Builder role. If you do not assign a Builder role to a user, they will not be able to access the Builder app.
One thing that is important to note is that a user is not able to edit the access levels of the role they have been assigned, nor are they able to assign themselves a new role. This must be done by another user.
If you change a user's role while they are logged into the system, the user will be automatically logged out with a warning message stating that their user session has ended. When the user logs back into the Enate system, they will be able to see and access the features that have been enabled for the new role they have been assigned.
If you edit the details a user's role while they are logged into the system, they will not be automatically logged out of the system, but they will not be able to use or see the changes to their role until they have logged out and logged back into the system.
You can view, create and maintain your user roles in the new User Roles section of Builder - click on User Management and then select User Roles from the dropdown.
Here you will see the standard roles available in the system, as well as any custom roles you have and this is where you can create and maintain your custom roles.
Clicking on a user role will bring up the details for that role, including its name, description and access to which features are enabled for it.
Note that you will not be able to edit the name, description or feature access for standard roles.
Enate provides some standard pre-configured roles to give your users access to the various Work Manager and Builder features that they need, which already have a variety of feature access options enabled. The feature access options for these standard roles cannot be edited.
There are two standard operational roles:
Team Member - this is for Agent users who process Tickets, Actions & Cases
Team Leader - this is for senior members who manage a Team and set Queues they oversee
The table below shows access to which features are enabled for team member and team leader roles
There are three standard Builder roles:
Local Builder - this provides more limited access to configure Ticket & Case processes
Master Builder - this provides users with access to create shareable master data, configure processes and set live
System Administrator - this provides full access to all configuration features in Builder, including integrations
The table below shows access to which features are enabled for the standard Builder roles:
If the standard roles don't quite match your organization's needs, you can create custom roles and customize the levels of access within the role.
You create and maintain custom roles from the User Roles section of Enate Builder.
To create a custom role for Work Manager, click the '+ Create New Custom Role' option in the Operational Roles tab, and to create a custom role for Builder, click the '+ Create New Custom Role' option in the Builder Roles tab.
You can create a brand new custom role in two ways:
Option 1 - From scratch, starting from a blank role where you will need to populate all your desired role data
Option 2 - By cloning an existing role (standard or custom) and adjusting the data accordingly. This option is useful if you only want to make a slight adjustments to an already existing role.
Whether creating from new or cloning from existing, proceed by giving your new custom role a name, description and then select what features you want the role to access. Once you have created your role be sure to save it before exiting the page.
There are a large number of access options available to choose from when you are defining a role's access to the various features in Enate. The full list of operational access options are listed below.
Note that if access to a feature has not been given, the option/button for that feature will be hidden.
The full list of Builder access options are listed below.
Note Builder access options only provide access to edit the relevant information. All information in Builder is still available as read-only. The only exception to this rule is that access to view information about users - service agents, robots and self service users - is dependent on the Builder option for security reasons.
Additionally, all users (who are not robots) who have access to Builder are able to access and edit Application Credentials (found under User Management).
