Manage Roles

The organization administrator can assign different roles to members, such as Resource Admin and Resource Manager, based on the requirements. By default, all organization administrators possess the privileges of a Resource Admin. To manage the resources of the organisation more efficiently, the org admin can assign multiple Admins and Managers for each of the resources in the organization.

The available roles are:

Resource Admin

The Resource Booking admins have complete control over the organization's resource booking system, including branches, buildings, and meeting rooms. Members with the Admin role can manage all aspects of Resource Booking, except for the exclusive privileges of the Organization Administrator, which include adding or removing other admins. 

Privileges of the Resource Booking Admin:

  • Branch: The admin can add, edit, delete, and view all branch details.
  • Building: The admin can add, edit, delete, and view all building details.
  • Floor: The admin can add, edit, delete, and view all floor details.
  • Resource: The admin can add, edit, delete, and view all resource details.
  • Bookings: The admin can view, add, edit, and delete all booking details.
