This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the different access levels available in GEP, helping you manage user permissions effectively. Whether you're setting up a new organisation or managing access to sensitive data, understanding how roles work is key to maintaining security and operational efficiency.
Navigation
To manage access, navigate to the Organisation section in the GEP sidebar. There, you’ll find two key tabs:
User Groups: View the three standard access levels (Super Admin, Admin, User) or create custom user groups with unique permission sets. You can also invite users directly into these existing or newly created groups.
User Directory: This is where you manage your user base — inviting users to join your organisation and assigning them access to relevant entities.
1. High-Level Summary
Key Differences Across Access Types
Super Admin (Full control across all features): Has the highest level of access, including full control over company settings, all user groups, all entities, documents, compliance events, and wallet transactions.
Admin (Broad control within assigned scope): Has significant access but with some restrictions compared to Super Admin. Can manage accessible user groups, accessible entities, documents, compliance events, and wallet transactions within their scope.
User (Limited, mostly own data and tasks): Has limited access, primarily focused on viewing and managing their own data and tasks. Cannot perform actions that affect other users or the overall company settings.
