Assigning User Roles in AlertFind

Overview

All AlertFind Users must have a Role assigned to them which is either User or Administrator. Roles define the general functions the user can perform. On top of these Roles, users can be designated as Team Leaders who have specific permissions within a team, but this is not a separate Role.

Solution

There are two Roles:
  • Administrator: Administrators can manage users and perform most functions granted to AlertFind during provisioning. The exact set of information that administrators can access is defined by the User Management settings in the company profile, which is set up by Support during provisioning
    Common administrator functions include:
    • Creating new users
    • Editing user accounts
    • Defining and editing default contact information
    • Defining and editing groups and teams
    • Sending and monitoring the progress of notifications
    • Creating and editing incidents
    • Creating notification templates
    • Editing customizable text in the AlertFind interface
  • User: Users generally use AlertFind to receive notifications, and may also use the Hotline and Hotline Pro. In some cases, users can log in to the AlertFind interface to maintain their personal contact information.
