Connect Roles in Enterprise for Appetize

Description: A Connect Role is the permissions established for a user's Connect Account. The role determines if a user has full or no access to Connect pages depending on the options selected.

---

Access can be toggled on/off in the Connect Role, but the Page Levels will define what functions the user will have for each page. 

Create a Connect Role

1. Click the Connect Roles icon under the Accounts section on the Corporate Dashboard.
   
   

2. Select the blue Add Connect Role button in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. Enter a name for the Role.
   • A recommended practice is to Name the role according to the user's function in the system.
   • Ex. Venue Manager, Administrator, Inventory Manager, etc.
4. Choose the options that this Connect Role needs to access.
   • Toggle options to Yes to allow the user to view that Page.
   • Toggle options to No to hide the page from the user.
5. At the bottom of the window is a Level dropdown.
6. Choose a level between 1 and 10.
   • Level 10 is the most restrictive, whereas 1 grants the most access, including everything level 2-10 would have access to.
   • These levels are programmed under Page Levels.
7. Select the blue Save button to add the Role.
8. Once a Role is created, there is an option to Copy or Delete.
9. Click on the hamburger icon to export and import Role data.
