INTRODUCTION

Operate has three default Security Groups:

  • Reception (Basic Access)

  • Centre Manager

  • Admin

If you choose the Essential or Growth edition of Operate, these groups come preconfigured with a set of specific, best practice permissions, which cannot be edited or added to.

The Enterprise edition allows you to  create new security groups (but not edit the defaults).

Within this article, we will be explaining what each Security Group has permission for, so you can decide which group to assign your users.
