How to create roles and allocate permissions

On Flightdeck, members can create ‘teams’. These teams give your brokers access to the platform and allow them to help you run your brokerage better.

In the teams area, you can not only add a number of different teams and members, but you can also allocate them specific roles and permissions to help further streamline your operations.

Here, we’ll help you assign roles and permissions to team members in Flightdeck.

Accessing Roles and Permissions

Dashboard overview:  

Once you’ve signed into the Flightdeck platform, you should be directed straight to your dashboard.  

Here, you will find access to all your benefits and tools.

‍

Find Company Dropdown:  

In the dashboard's left-hand side navigation menu, look for the Company dropdown menu (the first dropdown container with your company name and logo) option and select it to reveal a dropdown menu.  

‍

Go to Roles and Permissions:

Once you have expanded the Company menu, locate and click on Roles and Permissions. This takes you to a screen where you can manage all roles and permissions settings.

‍

Customising Roles and Permissions

On the Roles and Permissions screen:  

Once you’ve arrived on the Roles and Permissions screen, you should be able to view your members and their roles, as well as a selection of default roles ready for use.

And, if these default roles don’t work for you, you can also adjust and tailor roles and permissions depending on different users' needs.

‍

Creating a new role:  

Locate and select the Create New Role button. This will navigate you to a dedicated screen for defining a new role.

‍

Name the role:  

At the top of the screen, you'll find a text field. You can enter a name for the new role here (choose one that reflects the role’s responsibilities or the type of team member it is assigned to).  

‍

Assign permissions:  

Below the member’s name field, you can toggle the switches corresponding to various system permissions to allocate the member to this role or, alternatively, remove them from the role.  

This allows you to customise the role's access and capabilities within the system precisely, so the right people have access to the right tools.

‍

Finalise your role:  

Then, once you have set the role’s name and permissions, click the Create Role button to save and establish this new role.
