How to Assign Roles and Permissions

In this guide, we will cover the following processes:

  • Assign Roles to multiple members of staff – for example, providing Safeguarding User role to so they can add concerns to students; and
  • Assign multiple Roles to the same user account, for example, a member of the School Admin Team who needs to be able to input both Attendance and Behaviour data.

Below is a brief description of how Roles and Permissions work within the MIS;

  • Each User requires a User Account to log in to Bromcom.
  • Each User Account needs a Role or Roles to see data in Bromcom.
  • Each Role has specific permissions that dictate what data they can see.
  • The data that a User can/can’t see is explicitly controlled by which Roles they have and which permissions are enabled within those Roles.

Pre requisites:

  • Assigning Roles and Permission’s is only available to Users with Administrator permissions.
  • Bromcom have pre-created Roles in the system for Users to support you with this process. You can edit and make these bespoke to your setting using this guide.

Access: As there are two processes/pathways shown in this guide, you will need two sets of permissions. Both of them are found in the Setup Module of Config>Setup>Roles & Permissions.
