Configuring user roles and permissions
NAVIGATION My Account > Account Settings > Permissions
In myITprocess, user roles define responsibilities and permission levels to ensure a smooth, structured workflow across your team. Each user is assigned a role that determines which areas of myITprocess they can access and what level of access they have (that is, no access, a read-only view, or the ability to modify data).
The three built-in roles and any created custom roles are displayed in the Permissions tab on the Account Settings page. Hovering over the info icon
for any role reveals its granular permission details.
Roles are assigned to users from the Users page. After learning how to configure roles in your account settings, proceed to Adding and managing users.
Role types
Built-in roles
The following three roles are available in myITprocess by default and cannot be modified or deleted:
- IT Provider Admin
- vCIO
- Engineer
Expand the following drop-downs for an overview of each built-in role:
Users assigned the IT Provider Admin role have the highest level of access in the account. Their unrestricted permissions allow for access to all areas of the application and full data modification privileges.
Responsibilities
- Configuring the initial setup of the company's myITprocess account.
- Overseeing the account subscription and license usage.
- Managing users and their roles.
- Managing client environments and generating high-level reports.
- Ensuring the platform is optimized and aligned with organizational goals.
Users assigned the vCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer) role are concerned with the secondary stage of the review process, reports, and creating the Strategic Roadmap for clients. vCIO access is tailored to the strategic layer of the platform, with less emphasis on day-to-day configurations. These users play a strategic role focused on client engagement and long-term planning.
Responsibilities
- Leading client technology review meetings.
- Interpreting assessment results and client needs.
- Creating and managing the Strategic Roadmap that aligns IT initiatives with business goals.
- Producing client-facing reports to communicate value and guide future planning.
Users assigned the Engineer role are designated to assess client environments in a strict yes/no format. The Engineer permissions are tailored to optimizing efficiency for this critical role. These users are primarily responsible for conducting clients' technical assessments. Their view is simplified and streamlined, ensuring they can complete assessments quickly and effectively without unnecessary distractions.
Responsibilities
- Answering assessment questions in a structured yes/no format to evaluate compliance and operational standards.
- Focusing on accuracy and efficiency in data collection.
- Collaborating with the vCIO by supplying technical input for roadmap planning.
