Permissions
Permissions within a Role determine what functions a user can perform for the account. All users who hold a staff title that exists within a Role will have the permissions of that Role when they log in. Every account comes with 6 premade Roles. These roles have default permissions identified by the “meant for” description within the role, but those permissions are meant to be edited to fulfill how your organization would prefer that role to function.
Example: Role 2 is meant for Treatment Supervisors (BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, etc.). The defaulted permissions within that Role fit the typical functions a typical BCBA, SLP, OT, may need to have once they log in, however, customizing those permission should still be completed.
This guide will provide users with the understanding of each of the Permission sections and what they entail as it relates to the account capabilities.
TIPS:
Role 4’s permissions should not be edited.
More Roles can be made than the 6 that exist with the account
A staff member does not hold multiple staff titles (aka exist in multiple roles). Unique roles should be made for staff who have unique permissions
Any edits made within a role will apply to ALL Staff Member Titles assigned to that role.
Role 5 (Parent or Contact role permissions) enable differently than “staff” role permissions and may be noted throughout this resource
If you are curious to know the defaulted permissions within each pre made role prior to making edits, consult this additional resource: Default Role Permissions
We recommend logging back into your Rethink account for the permissions to take effect. Users may also need to clear their cache/cookies in order to see the updates. Instructions on this can be found here: https://clear-my-cache.com/en/windows.html
