Account Role Executive Privileges in iTextPRO

In iTextPRO, administrators and resellers have the authority to grant specific privileges to Account Role Executives, tailoring their access based on designated work areas. Multiple Executive roles can be created to accommodate diverse responsibilities. Below are examples:

1. Finance Team Role:
Billing Section Access
Reporting Section Access
Other Relevant Privileges

2. NOC Team Role:
Monitoring Log Access
Reporting Section Access
Administration Options
Other Relevant Privileges

3. Login Procedures:
Executives belonging to the Finance Team or NOC Team can access their respective roles by logging in through the designated URLs and ports.

4. For Admin's Executive:
Use the Admin’s Login URL and Port.
For Reseller’s Executive:
Use the Reseller’s Login URL and Port.

This segregation ensures a secure and role-specific login experience for executives, streamlining their access to the functionalities aligned with their responsibilities within iTextPRO. 


Permission-Categories:

Permissions for Executive users in iTextPRO are categorized based on their level of access and actions within different modules. Each category signifies a specific set of capabilities. Here are the permission categories:

1. View:
Description: Executives with View permission can only view the contents within the specified module.
Access Rights: Limited to viewing, no modification or deletion allowed.

2. Add:
Description: Executives with Add permission can add new entries to the respective module but cannot modify existing ones.
Access Rights: Limited to adding entries, no editing or deletion allowed.

3. Edit:
Description: Executives with Edit permission can perform edit and update operations on existing entries within the given module.
Access Rights: Limited to modifying existing entries.

4. Delete:
Description: Executives with Delete permission can perform deletion operations on entries within the specified module.
Access Rights: Limited to deleting entries, no modification allowed.

5. Full Control:
Description: Executives with Full Control permission have comprehensive access, including view, update, and delete capabilities for the specified module.
Access Rights: Unrestricted access to view, edit, and delete entries.

  

In iTextPRO, the Full Control permission plays a crucial role in providing comprehensive access to an executive user. Here's how Full Control and the hierarchy of permissions work in the system:

Full Control Activation:

Scenario 1: When Full Control is enabled at the top level (1st level), all sub-modules automatically inherit Full Control.

Scenario 2: If Full Control is enabled for a specific module, it implies that the executive has unrestricted access, encompassing View, Add, Edit, and Delete permissions.

Hierarchy in Permissions:

The hierarchy for permissions is determined by the levels available on a specific page or module.

Levels may represent different sections, functionalities, or data categories within a module.

Automatic Permissions:

Enabling Full Control at a higher level in the hierarchy automatically grants Full Control to all sub-modules within that level.

This streamlines the process, ensuring that executives with Full Control can efficiently manage all aspects of the specified module.

Explicit Disabling:

If an executive user needs to disable a specific permission for a property in the downline hierarchy, this must be explicitly done.

Full Control provides a comprehensive set of permissions, but individual properties or sub-modules can be fine-tuned by the executive user.

By combining Full Control with a hierarchical structure, iTextPRO ensures that executive users can efficiently manage permissions at different levels, providing flexibility and control over access to various functionalities within the system.

 


Permission-Type

iTextPRO offers flexibility in managing permissions by providing different types of permission assignments. Here are the two main permission types:

Individual User Permissions:
Usage: This option allows you to grant permissions to specific executive users based on their roles.

 

Procedure:

Navigate to the "Manage Permission" page.

Choose the permission type as "Individual"

Select the desired user from the dropdown list.

Click on "Show" to view and manage permissions for the individual user.

Executive User Group Permissions:

Usage: This option enables you to grant permissions directly to user groups, and these permissions are inherited by the individuals within the group.

 

Procedure:

Access the "Manage Executive User Groups" page.

Click on "Add User Group."

Provide a group name and select the users to include in the group.

Save the user group.

Use the "Total Users" option to view the Executive List within the group.

Edit or delete user groups as needed.

Note: If an executive account has both user-specific permissions and group permissions, the executive will have access to both sets of permissions.

These permission types offer a dynamic approach to managing access rights within iTextPRO, allowing administrators to tailor permissions to individual users or groups based on their roles and responsibilities.


Module Visibility

When the Executive Account Role does not have permissions, Executives will be redirected to an error page that says "Access Denied" when they log into their accounts because they do not have permissions.

 In the case, where permission is denied for all respective permissions to the Executive by the Admin on the fly then While performing any action on the Executive portal, the "Access denied" message will be displayed.

 Upon logging into the Executive's account, modules should be displayed sequentially as per the permissions granted.

 For example:

 All modules are sequentially shown in the following image.

From these, If the permissions granted to an Executive account include only the Configuration and Billing module then below should be the visibility on the Login.
