Access Roles

Rights Glossary for Access Roles

This glossary provides a brief explanation of the permissions that can be enabled when creating or editing an access role.

When you create or edit an access role, you can make several customizations to fit the individual access needs of staff members. This glossary provides a brief explanation of the functionality affected by each option. The available options depend on the Role Type, as each type has access to specific rights within Access Roles. The third column lists the Role Types to which the functionality is available. 

System Administrator Only Rights

A few rights are only available to staff members who are assigned the System Administrator role:

Access Rights

Access rights provide staff members access to specific components of the client record, agency and program management, and Clarity Human Services functionality. If the right is toggled off for an access role, staff members with that access role will not be able to access the corresponding functionality.
