What's the difference between a role and a permission?
A permission controls what someone can do in the software: Staff portal only, View-only, User or Admin. A role records what they’re accountable for, like DPO or Clinical Safety Officer. They’re independent, so a person has exactly one permission level and any number of roles. See Permissions and access and Roles and groups.
Can staff reach the hazard log or dashboard through the Staff Portal?
Can staff reach the hazard log or dashboard through the Staff Portal?
No. Staff portal only permission has no access to the Assuric dashboard. The portal covers checklists, training, incident reporting and device registration, not the hazard log or anything else in the workspace. See Manage and customise your staff portal.
Does adding a training module make it visible to staff straight away?
Does adding a training module make it visible to staff straight away?
No. A module is invisible until it’s attached to a checklist item, on a checklist that’s assigned to a group or role and published. Creating the module on its own doesn’t put it in front of anyone. See Assign training through your checklists.
Is Clinical Safety Lead the same as a Clinical Safety Officer?
Is Clinical Safety Lead the same as a Clinical Safety Officer?
No. Clinical Safety Lead is a coordinator role. It doesn’t require clinical registration and can’t perform CSO sign-off. If DCB0129 work is waiting on a signature, it’s waiting on the CSO. See Roles and groups.
Can the same person hold both DPO and Data Protection Lead?
Can the same person hold both DPO and Data Protection Lead?
They can overlap, but shouldn’t by default. Once you’ve appointed both as separate roles, give them to different people, to preserve the DPO’s advisory independence. See Roles and groups.
My own Staff Portal view looks empty. Is the portal broken?
My own Staff Portal view looks empty. Is the portal broken?
Probably not. An admin account’s own portal view reflects what’s assigned to that account, which is usually little or nothing. Visit it as a staff-permission test account instead of judging it from an admin login. See Manage and customise your staff portal.
