Permissions

Updated by Daniel Sjögren

Feature groups and permissions

Each feature within Quinyx is divided into feature groups or a single function. A feature group contains features throughout the application, and for each feature group you can define one permission. A single function is just for one specific thing within the application.

Example: Feature group Salary - includes all salary information within Quinyx, i.e the variables actual salary cost and forecasted salary cost in Schedule and salary details in People.

These are the currently existing feature groups and single features within Quinyx:

Settings

Transfer to payroll

Controls what type of access a user should have to the Time view. For this permission, the following behavior can be expected for the three different access levels:

  • No access: The user will get an error message when clicking the Time tab indicating there aren't sufficient permissions to access the page.
  • Read access: The user will be able to enter the Time tab assuming there is read access on the current unit. What’s more, the user will be able to select data for the units on which the user has read access but not perform any payroll-related actions when those have been added.
  • Write access: The user will be able to enter the Time tab assuming there is at least read access on the current unit. What’s more, the user will be able to select data for the units on which the user has read access. For the units on which the user has write access, the user is able to perform payroll-related actions such as transferring to payroll, reverting etc.

Read access is the default access for all roles on the Transfer to payroll permission. 

Note that an exception to this is role templates created prior to version 0085; those will have read access by default unless they have "No access" on the Scheduling > Punches permission specifically - in that case, the default access will be No access.

Time

The Salary type overview widget on the time card, including any items listed in that widget, currently isn’t controlled by any permission.
