An Administrator is a type of role in the system that can perform management functions such as setting payment option for Lolly subscription and inviting/managing other users. A user who is given Administrator role in Lolly can perform all functions in the software, access all areas, and view all information in the account.
What is a Standard User?
A Standard user is a role designed to allow the user to operating within Lolly without necessarily having the management functions over the account. A user with a Standard role will not be able to access Settings or Billing sections. When viewing most reports, a Standard user will only be able to view their own information (ex. hours worked). Also, a Standard user may be subject to additional permissions that an Administrator may set to remove create / edit / view privileges in certain areas of the software.
Where Are Permissions Set?
An Administrator can set / revoke permissions of a user by going to Settings->Manage User and editing a user in the account. In the Edit View for a User, there is a section titled “Rates and Permissions”. Click on this section to then the User’s role and permissions.
