User Roles

Aude's user management system employs role-based access control to ensure data security and streamline user experiences. This section explains the available roles, the role assignment process, and the specific permissions associated with each role.

Role Assignment

Roles in Aude are initially assigned during the user account creation process. However, these roles are not static and can be managed and modified after the user account has been created, allowing for flexibility as user responsibilities change within the organization. It's important to note that the role assigned to a user directly influences their actions within Aude, ensuring appropriate access and permissions for each user's responsibilities.

Users in Aude may be assigned three distinct roles, each with its own permissions and responsibilities.

Teammate Role

All users in Aude are automatically assigned the Teammate role upon account creation.

As Teammates, users have access to Aude's fundamental features that support personal growth and performance tracking. They can create and manage their development goals, allowing them to set objectives and track their progress over time. Additionally, Teammates have access to their performance metrics, enabling them to monitor their growth and achievements within the organization.

Manager Role

Users with the Manager role can be assigned as a Team Leader of a named team and have direct reports.

Managers in Aude possess all the permissions of a Teammate, with additional capabilities focused on team leadership and performance management. They can access the My Team dashboard, which presents their team's activities and progress. This dashboard allows Managers to view insights on their team's performance against established Performance Categories, enabling data-driven decision-making and targeted support. Managers can also manage the goals and performance of their direct reports, facilitating a more hands-on approach to team development and alignment with organizational objectives.

Organization Admin Role

The Organization Admin role provides the highest level of access for organizational management within Aude.

Organization Admins have the most comprehensive set of permissions in Aude, encompassing all the capabilities of both Teammates and Managers. They also have the authority to manage teams across the organization, including creating, modifying, and deleting team structures as needed.

They are responsible for managing performance categories, allowing them to define and adjust the metrics by which employee performance is measured.

Organization Admins can also manage the third-party applications that provide data to Aude, ensuring the system is properly integrated with other organizational tools and data sources.

Lastly, they have access to overall system configuration and administration, allowing them to tailor Aude to the organization's specific needs and maintain its smooth operation.
