User Roles

SMSPRO™ is a permissions-based application, where the scope of a user’s actions is determined by their roles.  The following roles are available:

SMSUsers

This role is required to access the application; all users must be in this role in order to have access to SMSPRO™.  Newly created users are automatically assigned the SMSUsers role.

SMSDataEntry

The SMSDataEntry role allows a user to enter data on behalf of another user.  In particular, if someone fills out an issue report on a paper form, a user with the SMSDataEntry role can enter that issue report into SMSPRO™ on their behalf.  The person who submitted the paper report can then access the issue in SMSPRO™ as if they had entered it themself.

SMSDepartmentHeads

The SMSDepartmentHeads role is a managerial role.  SMSDepartmentHeads can be designated as "Responsible Managers" for issues.  They can manage issues that have been assigned to them; and they can use the QuickTable™, QuickSort™, and MeetingManager™ modules.

SMSSafetyManagers

The SMSSafetyManagers role gives users access to all the modules in the application except for the administration modules.  They can manage, classify, and assess risks in the RiskManager™ module (subject to User Role Setup); and they can use the QuickTable™, QuickSort™, QuickChart™, and MeetingManager™ modules.

SMSAdmin

The SMSAdmin role gives users access to the administration modules, including Administer SMSPRO™ and Users and Roles.
