Understanding Global vs. Event Permissions in Resiada

Managing users and permissions in Resiada involves two distinct levels: Global Permissions and Event Permissions. Here's a breakdown to clarify the differences and help you manage them effectively.

Global Permissions: The Big Picture

Scope: Global Permissions apply across your entire organization in Resiada.
Uniformity: Once set, these permissions are consistent for all events under your organization.
Flexibility: You can set a global permission group or adjust permissions individually.
Key Point: Global permissions cannot be overridden at the event level. This means if a user has a certain level of access globally, they will retain this access for all events.

Event Permissions: Tailored Access

Specificity: Event Permissions apply to individual events within your organization.
Customization: This allows you to tailor user access on an event-by-event basis. For example, a user might have access to Rooming List Management for one event but not for another.
Note: Event permissions can't reduce a user's global permissions but can add additional access specific to an event.

How They Work Together

Hierarchy: Global Permissions set a baseline access level for all events. Event Permissions can add (but not subtract) to this access for specific events.
Example: If a user has global edit permissions for reservations, they will have this access for every event. However, if they don't have global permission to view financial reports, you can grant this permission for specific events as needed.

Managing Permissions

Assigning Global Permissions: Done through 'User Management' by specifying the permissions you want the user to have across all events.
Assigning Event Permissions: Similar process but focused on individual events. You can select a predefined group or set permissions manually.

Practical Application

Use Global Permissions for: Core team members who need consistent access across all events.
Use Event Permissions for: Roles that change per event, like temporary staff or external partners requiring specific event access.

By understanding and effectively using Global and Event Permissions, you can maintain a secure and efficient workflow in Resiada, ensuring the right people have the right access at the right times.
