Custom Roles
In addition to the Default Roles available, you may want to create Custom Roles based on your team’s specific needs. When doing so, consider what feature sets the role should have access to and the permissions level required.
When customizing Roles, you have three main permissions levels that you can assign when giving access to different feature sets included in that role: No Access, Full Access, or Custom.
Permission Options:
-
No Access: the user will not have access to the feature
-
Full Access: administrator level with full access to the Sardius Control Panel
-
Custom: customize what level of access that is available to the user (available for some feature sets)
To customize Roles for your organization’s needs, begin by clicking on the Settings wheel to access Roles
Next, select Roles from the Dropdown Menu.
Now, you are able to create a New Role for your organization by clicking on New Role
Next, create the Title of your new Role by adding text in the field
Add a Description of your Role.
Click the Create button to create the new Role
Note: The Role ID will be automatically generated upon creation.
Next, select your Permissions levels for the desired features by using the Toggle on option to grant Full Access or Customize permissions, when that option exists.
Select Update Role when finished. You can update or Delete the Role later, if necessary.

Editing or Deleting a Role
There may be times when you need to edit a role (ie. to give more permissions or restrictions to a group of team members) or delete a role. The process is easy to do that.
From the Roles area of the Sardius Control Panel, you will see the list of existing Roles. To Edit or Delete a Role, simply click on the one you want to edit
Editing a Role
This will open up the window with the specific permissions for that Role.
After making any of the desired adjustments, be sure to click the “Update Role” in the bottom right-hand corner.
Deleting a Role
You can also Delete a Role from this detailed permissions window as well.
Simply click on “Delete Role” to do so. You will then see a confirmation window confirming that you want to delete the role. Click “Yes, delete role” when prompted.
Helpful Tip: If you delete a Role that current users have been given access to, it could cause issues with them gaining access to the Sardius Control Panel if they have not been assigned a different Role.
