By using the "Connect users to roles from parent department" function, you can assign users roles from a parent department to its sub-departments.

This allows users to inherit roles and permissions from the main department to their respective sub-departments.

Example

If the main department has a specific role defined, users in a sub-department can automatically be assigned this role by enabling "Connect users to roles from parent department." This ensures that users in the sub-department have the same roles and permissions as those in the main department.

Role assignment as default for a department

When a role is created, it can be set as the default for a department under its properties.

  • If "Default for department" is selected, all users in the chosen department will be added to the role.
  • If the main department has an assigned role and has sub-departments, you have the option to link users to default roles from parent departments.

Example

By accessing the Edit properties for "Sub-Department 1" and selecting the option "Connect users to default roles from all parent departments," all users in "Sub-Department 1" will be added to the role "Test A role."

Steps to connect

When creating a role: Role can be set as default for department in properties:

If selecting "Default for department" all users in the selected department will be added to role:

Connect users to default roles from parent departments

If the main-department has a role connected, and main-department has sub-departments connected - you have the option to connect users to default roles from parent departments:

Example

By going in edit properties in "Sub-department 1" and selecting option to "connect users to default roles from all parent departments" - all users from "Sub-department 1" will be added to role "Test A role":

Note

To enable the connection of users to default roles from parent departments, this setting must be configured individually in each sub-department. The role inheritance applies upwards within the department structure.

Users are added to parent departments until it is not applied in properties for the parent department:
