Cinode’s permission levels are designed to ensure that users have the right level of access. This approach helps maintain security, prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data, and align user roles with their specific responsibilities.
Regularly review and adjust permission levels to reflect changes in roles or responsibilities, ensuring your team has the access they need to perform effectively without compromising company data or processes.
How to Set Permissions
To assign permission levels to employees, you must have the Admin role. Follow the steps below to configure employee permissions.

Go to Administration > Users and navigate to the Employees tab.Edit Permissions for an Individual Employee
- Click the pen icon located at the far-right of the employee’s row to modify their permissions, OR
- Bulk Edit: Select multiple employees by checking their boxes, then click Edit.Assign or Modify Permissions
Choose the desired permission(s) for the employee by clicking the pen icon and updating their roles.
