A second article discusses Editing Profile Permissions, which should be a key takeaway from this page.

Profiles

...

The Profiles tab contains the several different Profiles available for selection from within our system, allowing you to Edit/Create/Delete Profiles. When you select a Profile from this screen, there are four different subtabs that allow you to edit specific pieces of functionality for each given profile.

...

1. Box # 1: Shows the User Settings Admin Panel menu currently selected.
2. Box # 2: Shows the Profiles tab currently selected.
3. Box # 3: Shows the Profile that you currently have selected. You can tell which Profile is currently selected NOT ONLY based off of the name (match name of Profile with "Description" from box # 5), BUT ALSO from the slim green line that appears to the LEFT of the Profile name.
4. Box # 4: Shows the multiple tabs of user settings available from within the single Profile selected. Currently selected is the Attributes tab. This lets you change high-level information about the profile selected, such as the profile name and the profile category. Other tabs allow for other changes to be made (see below for explanations of the other tabs).
5. Box # 5: Shows the name of the Profile selected. This can be edited and will not break the system; however, please avoid doing so unless absolutely necessary as we've training staff on the current Profile names.
6. Box # 6: Shows the Category that the profile falls into. This partially dictates functionality; selecting the Employee category will force the profile to behave like an Employee-type profile, whereas selecting the Reviewer category will force the profile to behave like a Reviewer-type profile. For newly created, non-default profiles (such as our PERC Progress Report Reviewer), a category is not necessarily needed (as they need their own special functionality).
7. Box # 7: Shows the Dashboard theme selector.
   1. There are three options for selection here:
   2. 
   3. Fluxx Dashboard: The default option, Fluxx dashboard is essentially the Employee view of the system (where the user has a Default dashboard, plus shared dashboards and the Organization-specific Dashboard Templates).
   4. External Portal (Old): No longer used; used to be used for external portals (i.e. Grantee and Reviewer Portals).
   5. Branded Portal (New): The new version of the External Portal; this will force the user to have 1 portal view based on the Dashboard Template selected for Box # 8. This prevents the user from creating their own dashboard/adding new cards that they shouldn't have access to (as is desired for external users like Grantees, Reviewers, and PERC Progress Report Reviewers).
8. Box # 8: Shows where you can select the Dashboard Template. You only need to select a Dashboard Template IF you selected "Branded Portal (New)" as the Dashboard theme selector from Box # 7. Otherwise, if you selected "Fluxx Dashboard" this field can be left unaltered.
9. Box # 9: Shows two checkboxes that determine some functionality for this Profile.
   1. Prevent Users from Adding or Removing Dashboards (users will only be able to use the dashboards selected above): If checked, will prevent the user from being able to add or remove Dashboards; they will be restricted to only having the Dashboards checked in Box # 8. This is mainly used when the Dashboard Theme selector is set to Fluxx Dashboard, as those with the Branded Portal (new) are always prevented from being able to add/remove dashboards. Still, you can check this box for new portals built for external users (non-employees) to make absolutely sure they are prevented from adding new dashboards.
   2. Disable Workflow Notes: When clicked, users will be unable to add Workflow Notes, i.e. notes directly on the record that can be left as you're completing your workflow.
      1. Example of what being able to leave a workflow note looks like in the system. If this checkbox is checked, then the Add Note button found below will be completely removed and users will not be able to see/leave these notes.
      2. 
10. Box # 10: Shows where you can Delete this User Profile. This is highly dangerous! Please only delete profiles that were created in error and are not attached to any user accounts; deleting any User Profiles that are in use will result in users immediately losing the Portal Access and permissions that they need to complete their work.
11. Box # 11: Shows where you can Save your changes to this profile. If you've made any changes, you must hit the save button in order for your changes to be effectuated. Otherwise, your changes will be discarded.
12. Box # 12: Shows where you can create a New Profile. This is useful if you need to create a new Portal, as the WPP needed to do when we created the PERC Progress the Progress Report Reviewer Profile.

Rights Tab

...

1. Box # 1: Shows the Permissions+ tab currently selected.
2. Box # 2: Shows the first batch of functionality toggles. Most have names that sufficiently describe what the toggle does. Descriptions:
   1. Allow Monitoring the Email Queue: Checking this box will allow this profile to approve or delete emails from the queue. Since this is for monitoring the email queue without Admin Permissions, you'll needed to use the Table View to Monitor the Email Queue.
   2. Allow Monitoring the Job Queue: Checking this box will allow this profile users to take actions on the jobs queue. Again, since this is for monitoring the jobs queue without Admin Privileges, you'll need use the Table View to Monitor the Job Queue.
   3. Hide Universal Search: Checking this box removes the universal search feature from this profile.
   4. Allow batch/bulk update: Checking this box shows the individual bulk actions available for this profile.
      1. Please note checking this box does not give users the ability to perform bulk update actions until individual settings are checked
      2. To enable all bulk update actions, each individual bulk update setting must be checked
      3. Sub-options that become available upon clicking this checkbox:

         1. 
            

            Allow bulk update attributes	Checking this box will allow this profile to bulk update fields of the records
            Allow bulk update status	Checking this box will allow this profile to bulk update the state of the records
            Allow sending bulk email alerts	Checking this box will allow this profile to bulk send an email alert for the records
            Allow generating documents in bulk	Checking this box will allow this profile to generate a letter template for the records
            Allow bridger status check in bulk	Checking this box will allow this profile to run a bridger status check on the records
            Allow scheduling payments in bulk	Checking this box will allow this profile to assign payments for the records
            Allow scheduling reports in bulk	Checking this box will allow this profile to assign reports for the records

            
            

   5. Allow accessing the dedupe tool: Checking this box will allow this profile to utilize and take action on the dedupe tool (used to merge duplicative records).
   6. Allow editing payment contingencies: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit the payment contingencies on a granted record.
   7. Allow editing funding sources: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit existing Funding Source Records and create new Funding Source Records.
      1. Requires that the User Role assigned has access to that workflow state.
   8. Allow editing request funding sources on active grants: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit the Request Funding Source on a granted request record.
   9. Allow editing and deleting Ad-hoc and Excel Reports: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit or delete existing Ad-hoc Report and Excel records.
   10. Allow editing of select (dropdown) fields: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit select field values from the form.
   11. Allow Theme Switching: Allows the user to use the Component Theme-Switcher on Grant Request records. This allows the user to switch the Form type after the record has been created.
3. Box # 3: Shows the second batch of functionality toggles. These toggles are all related to User credentials and security. Descriptions:
   1. Allow updating users' login: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit a user’s login.
      1. Login fields will be available on the user record.
      2. Login fields will appear in the LOI (Registration) Connect modal.
      3. This means if a user with this permission connects a user to the system via the Connect component, the New User Email (if enabled) will trigger.
   2. Allow updating users' password: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit a user’s password.
   3. Allow updating users' SSO UID: Checking this box will allow this profile to edit the sso_uid core field.
      1. If SSO is configured for your site, then the SSO UID is treated like a password. Enabling this option will allow the user to access other users SSO UID fields on the user record.
   4. Allow impersonating grantees: Checking this box will allow this profile to impersonate any profile with the “Grantee” category.
4. Box # 4: Shows the Delete button where you can delete the Profile you currently have selected. This is highly dangerous! Please only delete profiles that were created in error and are not attached to any user accounts; deleting any User Profiles that are in use will result in users immediately losing the Portal Access and permissions that they need to complete their work.
5. Box # 5: Shows where you can Save your changes to this profile. If you've made any changes, you must hit the save button in order for your changes to be effectuated. Otherwise, your changes will be discarded.

Roles

...

The Roles tab allows you to create/edit/delete User Roles within the system. See the screenshot below for highlighted important items and beneath the screenshot for descriptions of said items.

...

1. Box # 1: Shows the Roles tab currently selected.
2. Box # 2: Shows the Role that's currently selected. You can tell which Role is currently selected from the slim green line that appears to the LEFT of the Profile name and by matching the Role name with the name shown in Box # 4.
3. Box # 3: Shows the Roleable Type dropdown selection box. There are four possible options to selected here:
   1. 
   2. This field determines which Program (or sublevel below program) is available for selection at the Programs level when selecting a user's User Role. The WPP always leaves this field set at the Program-level (and then we always enter 'All Programs' at the specific program selection menu).
4. Box # 4: Shows the configurable name of the Role type. This can be changed at any time without breaking anything in the system. However, please avoid doing so, as we've trained employees on the current names of the Roles we've configured.
5. Box # 5: Shows the Delete button where you can delete the Role you currently have selected. This is highly dangerous! Please only delete roles that were created in error and are not attached to any user accounts; deleting any Roles that are in use will result in users immediately losing the permissions that they need to complete their work (i.e. being unable to submit an application).
6. Box # 6: Shows the Save button where you can save any changes made to the Role. If you've made any changes, you must hit the save button in order for your changes to be effectuated. Otherwise, your changes will be discarded.
7. Box # 7: Shows the New Role button where you can create a new Role if needed.

Security

...

The Security Tab contains several different settings allowing you to control features like the minimum password length required, the ability to control whether users can use multiple Profiles, multi-factor authentication, etc.

...

The other security settings offer other options as well, but nothing particularly relevant to the WPP. See the Fluxx Security Settings article for more information on these.

...

Groups

Before you go on...

Fluxx has an article that discusses how groups are used and how to manage them. Please read through that article as well, here: https://fluxxdev.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/article/1795885766?src=964446319

The Groups Tab

The Groups Tab allows you to manage, create, and edit User Groups, which are primarily used when scheduling Reviews. See the screenshot below for highlighted items and beneath the screenshot for descriptions of said items.

Image Added

1. Box # 1: Shows the Groups tab as currently selected.
2. Box # 2: Shows the Group that is currently selected. You can tell which Group is currently selected from the slim green line that appears to the LEFT of the Group name and by matching the Group name with the name shown in Box # 3.
3. Box # 3: Shows three attributes for each user group:
   1. Name: This is the Configurable name of this user group. This can be edited at any time without breaking anything, but keep in mind that we train Employees on the names of these user groups so please do not change these without a good reason to do so.
   2. This group is a Tree/Hierarchy: Essentially, this allows this group to be a "Parent Group" for subgroupings underneath this user group. WPP does not use this functionality at this time.
   3. Retired: If this box is checked, this group will be considered Retired and will no longer be available for selection from the normal spots where user groups are used.
4. Box # 4: Shows the Delete button. This allows you to Delete the user group selected. Be careful about doing this! Deleting user groups that will be used for Reviews can screw up the workflow of the Employees who are creating the reviews, so please only do this if the User Group was created in error.
5. Box # 5: Shows the Save button. If you've made any changes, you must hit the save button in order for your changes to be effectuated. Otherwise, your changes will be discarded.
6. Box # 6: Shows the New Group button that, when clicked, will create a new User Group. You can then change the name/settings on that user group as desired.
