Staff vs. Non Staff Roles

The platform distinguishes between two permission levels. This table helps new users understand what they can do and when they need help from a staff member.

Non Staff (Viewer)

Non staff accounts are best for team members who only need visibility.

  • View the dashboard, quick actions, and assigned tasks.
  • Browse documents, letters, and transmittals that were shared with them.
  • Download files and read responses, but cannot upload or send new records.

Staff (Admin)

Staff accounts include everything above plus full authoring capabilities.

  • Upload documents, create revisions, and manage document types.
  • Send transmittals and letters, including responses and returns.
  • Manage user accounts by creating new users or editing existing profiles.

Choosing the Right Role

  • Give non staff access to stakeholders who only need to monitor project activity.
  • Assign staff access to document controllers and coordinators who publish or manage content.
  • To upgrade an account, contact the document controller or system administrator so they can adjust the user role in User Management.
