Account Permissions Guides
Permissions
Users of the system are provided different access permissions based on their role. There are two types of role – Outreach and Case Office. Any user can have both an Outreach role and a Case Office role.
In addition to Outreach and Case Office roles, a Domain Admin role also exists with the highest level of permissions. These users can perform operations for the Case Office and Outreach users, and make changes that affect all Contact Groups and Case Offices across an entire Domain.
Note: If you are a Populus user, please see this FAQ to see how Populus role names map to the standard role names in this guide.
Case Office Roles
Case Office roles define what a user can do specific to Case Work. This includes finding, creating, and updating Cases as well as Case Office Administrative tasks.
There are three permission levels for Case Work accounts:
- Office Admin
- Office Staff
- Office Basic
Office Admin
This user can manage any configurations related to their assigned Case Office, including:
- Case Category management
- Adding / removing staff to or from their Case Office
- Creating new Case Work users (at any permission level)
- Configuring Email settings
- Managing Email templates
- Managing Case intake templates
- Setup and Manage Inbound Channels
Office Staff
This user can manage all of their Case Office’s cases, including cases marked as Confidential. However, they cannot do any of the Case Office administrative work listed above.
Office Basic
These users can only manage unassigned cases or cases that are specifically assigned to them. They are unable to view cases marked as Confidential.
The table below provides an overview of each role’s permissions:

Outreach Permissions
There are five different levels of outreach user. These are:
- Outreach Director
- Outreach Manager
- Outreach Staff
- Outreach Basic
- Data Entry
Outreach Director
Outreach Directors can manage their assigned master contact group as well perform all of the functions of users listed below.
Outreach Manager
Outreach Managers have the ability to create and manage contact groups in addition to the functions listed below.
Outreach Staff
Outreach Staff can manage contacts and activities, and can create target criteria.
Outreach Basic
These users can only manage contacts and update outreach activities. They cannot merge contacts or create activities.
Data Entry
Data Entry users have the lowest level of permissions and are restricted to updating activities.
No Outreach
If you wish to disable outreach functions entirely for a system user, there is an option to select No Outreach as a role. This might make sense for users that are strictly involved in Case Work as an example.
