EIOBoard (EB) has many built-in security groups. System-defined security groups cannot be modified, but additional security groups can be defined to fit most–if not all–necessary configurations. So you can create a custom security group that fits your needs. Below is a summary of what each security group can access within the application interfaces.
Security Groups
System-Defined Security Groups
EB Admin: Has full control of the Admin features and can do everything all the other security groups can do.
EB Receptionist: Can change the statuses of anyone and add/update receptionist comments.
EB Group Admin: Can edit users within their group.
EB Group Manager: Can change the statuses of anyone within their group.
EB Time Card Manager: Can View/Edit all of the user’s time data and create timecards for users.
EB Customer Manager: Can modify the values for the Customer Integration Add-on.
EB View Reports: Can run system and custom reports that can be accessed in the Web Browser, the Application, or Outlook Add-in interfaces.
EB Master Admin: Can add/edit/delete Organizations in the Administrator and switch between organizations to change their settings.
EB Student View Only: Limits access in the Browser Interface so users can only log in and see their Status History.
EB Student Edit Time: Limits access in the Browser Interface so users can only log in and see their Status History and can also edit their Status History.
EB Chat History Manager: Can view Chat History for all users and also delete the chat history.
EB User Manager: Can add/edit/delete users and change their selected locations and groups.
Viewing Security Group Permissions
You can see all the permissions of a security group under ‘Administration’->’Users, Groups, & Security’->’Security’. There you can select the Group, then the permissions that group has will be checked on the right.
Creating Custom Security Groups
To create a custom Security Group:
- Go to the Security Groups tab in the Web at ‘Administration’->’Users, Groups, & Security’->’Security’
- With no Security Groups selected, click ‘New’
- Enter your Security Group Name
- Once the Security Group is made, you can click Edit on the bottom right of the list of the Permissions to add or remove permissions from it.
Assign Security Groups and Locations
For Groups:
A person can belong to one group, multiple groups, or no group at all. If someone does not belong to a group, the only way to see them is on the “All” group tab.
For Locations:
A person can be a member of one location or no location at all. A person belongs to one location by association. By setting Status Locations during Status Updates, EIOBoard puts those people into any location in an actionable way. Conversely, when someone does not belong to a location, the only way to see that person is to specifically change your view settings to the “<All>” Location.
Desktop Interface: Adding Groups and Locations
- Go to Administration
- Go to the Right Side of the Users tab
- There you can create, edit, and manage the members of groups and locations
Web Interface: Adding Groups and Locations
Changing User Security Groups, Groups, and Locations
To change a user’s security, group, or location, simply select the user from the Users tab in Administration. Place checkmarks next to the desired securities, groups, and locations in the right pane. Your selections will automatically be saved.
On the Web Interface
Choose “Edit” on the user you would like to assign a security group.
Here you can assign the groups, locations, and security groups all in one spot.
Desktop Interface: Bulk Administration of Groups and Locations
You can also add multiple users to a particular location or group under the Manage Groups / Locations tab. Select the Group or Location that you would like to manage and hit the Members button to bring up a Select Users window. You can place checkmarks next to all the users that you would like placed into that particular Group or Location, then hit Update to save the changes.
