With TeamGram, it’s easy to run a healthy and productive CRM for your business. One of the most important aspects to maintaining peak efficiency is the management of your company’s access rights in your CRM.
When users share information in TeamGram, they have the ability to modify visibility, providing flexibility, control, and ensuring the right information is shared with the right people. However, it can also become time-consuming to apply these settings for every record. To make it easier for your team, TeamGram provides an easier way to manage your access rights by taking into account your departmental needs at an organizational level.
Why are access rights important?
Access rights are important for organizations to distribute authorization between departments and team members for many reasons, including (but not limited to): keeping the CRM experience concise for each user; for keeping records and communications free from outside distractions; or for maintaining data security.
How do companies currently manage their access rights?
Most companies already manage access rights to important files and documents by storing them under lock and key, sometimes in different rooms and floors, thereby limiting availability to those with proper authorization. TeamGram’s Access Rights works similar to this.
How comprehensive is TeamGram’s access rights management?
Access rights can be distributed by administrators: by department, or by team member.
Access rights in TeamGram is highly robust, including record creation and deletion, sharing settings, pricing, or simply hiding a section completely from view.
How can I organize access rights in TeamGram?
First you’ll need to create new departments. Click on Control Panel > Departments and create them there.
To begin modifying access rights, click on Control Panel > Department access controls, choose a department on the left sidebar, and click on the section you’d like to manage access rights to. Editors indicates departments and team members that have edit access to this section, while Readers indicates departments and team members that have read rights only.
How can I arrange department hierarchies?
Administrators may define an organizational chart for your company and determine which users are in each department. After you have created new departments, start by clicking on Control Panel > Department Settings. You can rearrange the organizational chart of your company in order to reflect the hierarchy of your departments. This will be used as a blueprint for access rights in your company.
