Overview

Every Boulevard user is assigned to a Privilege Group, which determines what the user is able to do in Boulevard. Each preset Privilege Group is made up of specific privileges that are either enabled or disabled for that Privilege Group. The default 'Admin' Privilege Group has all active privileges, while traditionally other Privilege Groups have fewer privileges.

Adding a New Privilege Group

  1. From Business Settings (gear icon), click Privilege Groups then New Privilege Group.

  2. Name the group, give it a brief description, and click Create Privilege Group.

  3. Scroll down through the list on the right and enable privileges by clicking the toggle switch. See below the Privilege Settings Glossary for details on each privilege.

  4. When all privileges are correctly enabled, click Save at the top right

Assigning or Changing Privilege Groups

A user's Privilege Group is assigned when the user is first added. If needed, their assigned Privilege Group can be changed in their Staff Profile. Select the desired Privilege Group, then Save Changes.

Deleting a Privilege Group

To remove a Privilege Group, click the individual name of the Privilege Group and then Delete it to the right of that window.

CAUTION: If users are still assigned to a Privilege Group that gets deleted, those users are reassigned to the 'Admin' Privilege Group role and have full privileges.
