Overview
We’re excited to officially launch a new licensing model and Permissions Packages for all multi-user FormAssembly plans! This document covers the legacy Enterprise and Compliance Cloud plans. Once your instance has been updated, you can refer to our new User Management and Licensing document or reach out to us with any questions.
Each user must be assigned to a role.
Every role has a different set of permissions. You can assign a user to the best-fitting role, or create a new role.
You may create roles to give more restrictive permissions to a group of users, e.g., you can prevent those users from editing the branding of their forms, or enforce a form publishing approval process. If a user attempts to use an option that they don’t have access to, a message will be displayed to notify them that the option is not available with their current role.
You may customize this error message to reflect your organization policies or practices. To do so, go to Admin Dashboard | Settings | Permission Messages and edit the Permission Related Messages.
Requirements
For information on upgrading, please contact our Sales Department at sales@formassembly.com.
Default Roles
There are two roles by default: Administrator and Author.
An Author can create their own forms and collect data. They cannot access the Administration area and therefore cannot create users, access other users’ data, or change the application configuration options.
An Administrator can see the Admin tab and access the Administration area of the application. They can create users, impersonate existing users, view existing forms, browse collected responses, delete data, and configure the application.
Create a New Role
- Browse to: Admin Dashboard | Settings | User Roles
- The User Roles tab contains the list of roles available in the application.
- Click Add Role at the bottom of your existing list of roles.
