Overview
The Employee administration panel allows system administrators to manage how her/his company site is accessed by its employees. System Administrators use the Employees tab to perform common user access activities like adding new users, removing users who are no longer with the company, assigning roles, and setting contact and notification settings. You may access the Employee Administration screen by clicking "Employees" under the "Administration" menu.
Employee Administration
Adding Employees
To add a new employee click the "Add New Employee" button.
You will be asked to begin the process by entering the email address of the person that you wish to add. We encourage administrators to use corporate email addresses, rather than personal email addresses when configuring new employees.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- In the search bar, enter the email address of the new employee you wish to add. Click enter or click on the "Search for Employee" icon to initiate the search process.
- If the email address is not found in the database, Qualer will prompt you to confirm the creation of a new employee record.
- Click on the "OK" button to proceed with adding the employee's email to your Qualer site.
- Once confirmed, the new employee's email will be successfully added to your Qualer site.
Once confirmed, you will be able to enter the profile information to complete the new employee record, including assigning roles that control the user's ability to view or edit information within Qualer.
Title: The "Title" field can be used to include the employee's position or title at your company.
Alias: The "Alias" field can include the employee's nickname or shortened name. Any name entered here will be the name displayed for this employee on any document showing their work done in Qualer.
Image Url: The "Image URL" is an option field that can be used to create a more personal employee profile, we recommend using a professional photo, like a LinkedIn profile photo, for this field if you choose to use this field.
Emails: Login Email and Subscription Email are used differently in Qualer. "Login Email" serves as the official identifier of the employee in the system and is used at the login screen, and in reports and logs to identify this unique user. "Subscription Email" is used as the address to which the employee will receive system notifications. In most instances, both fields should contain the same address.
Password: The password set in this screen is the initial log-in password set by the Administrator. After the employee is invited to the portal, he or she can reset the password.
Role/Site: For added security within your portal, each employee must have at least one role assigned to begin using the system. The roles determine the level of access the employee will have, and the site determines where this access is visible.
These settings will be covered under the "Security Roles for Employees" and "Notification Settings" sections below.
Removing Employees
When employees leave your company, they should be removed from your Qualer system to prevent unauthorized access.
- To do this, select the employee you wish to remove from your employee list.
- This will open the employee profile screen. Click "Delete" on the right-hand side of the panel.
- To complete the removal process, click "OK" on the confirmation dialog box.
When assigning a role, you must also select whether the permissions available to this role will apply to all company sites or select from the drop-down menu of available sites and select the specific sites to which this employee's role is relevant. Remember, each role associated with an employee account adds another layer of visibility and access within the portal.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Select the employee name from the employee list.
- Select the "Security Roles" tab, and at the bottom of the panel
- Select a role from the drop-down menu, and the site that the role will apply to for this employee and click "Add Role".
A summary of the editing and viewability within the site for each role is displayed in the table below. For an up-to-date, detailed summary of the roles and permissions, download the Excel file at the bottom of this article.
