Adjusting standard user rights & Customising user rights.
How to change a user's rights or allocate access.
To CHANGE rights: You can click on any Accountant/User’s record and change their user role by selecting the appropriate role from the Role dropdown.
If you check the 'Allocate License' checkbox, they will be granted access to the app.
If you are paying via Debit Order this license will automatically be added to your next billing cycle. If you are paying via PayFast, please purchase more licenses first, before trying to allocate the licenses. This post will show you how.
How to REMOVE a user:
We do not recommend deleting a user as this will result in their names being removed from tasks that have been archived for historical purposes. Instead, we suggest that you switch off their Allocate License in the Accountant table and mark their employment status as Dismissed, End of Contract or Resigned. This will remove their access from DataGrows and ensure that the history of their work remains.
If you still want to delete a client,To delete a user from the app completely, you will need to hand over all of their work first. To do this:
Go to the Accountant table under Setup.
Click on the record of the accountant you want to remove.
Select the accountant that will be taking over their work from the 'Reassign all clients and tasks' dropdown.
Save.
Next, check the checkbox next to the accountant's name that you want to delete.
Click on Actions, then Delete Selected.
