Restricting access to all items

Normally, the role has access to all items in the organizer. If you want to restrict access to only the items that users in the role create or use, you use this setting.  

 Users logged in under this role can only see those items that:

  • is assigned by another user with the level "grant permission"
  • user under this role created the item

Recommendations and tips

  • If you assign multiple users to a role set up this way, they will all see the items that any of the assigned users have created under that role. It will therefore behave like a team role. For example, all sales representatives with the role "Sales Representative Chicago"
  • If you want a user to see only "their" items, create an individual role for each of them, for example, "Sales Representative John Doe". In this case, you will assign this role only to John Doe.
