This article will take you through what User Permission are and how to set them up in Blackpurl
If you need to know what are the current Blackpurl User Permission are and what they do, this is the relevant link - Current User Permissions
What are User Permissions
User Permissions allows the Dealership to allocate access or restrict access to certain sections of Blackpurl for particular groups of Users
For example you may not want your Unit Sales search to have access to System Settings or to see costings so you would set them up to only have User Permission for certain sections of Blackpurl
How to setup User Permissions
The scenario would be - in the Dealership, the Unit Sales staff do not need access to Account Settings but they need access to Customer Order Units. Your process would be:
- Create new Group for User Permission Group - Unit Sales in Blackpurl
- Assign the relevant permissions to suit what this group would and would not have permission to access
- Assign the relevant Users to this group
- From the Blackpurl Header > click on
> System settings
- From the System Settings Dashboard > click on
