About User Roles in Clickentry

Learn which areas of Clickentry you can access in your organisation with your assigned user role. 

What you should Know 

The only user who is having the Manage Users permission, can invite new or update existing users. 

Once the Clickentry Subscriber set up his organization, he can invite other users to access the organisation. He can invite the business owner, an accountant or bookkeeper, the office administrator, or the data entry person for his business. 

You need to assign a user role to the user you are inviting. That user role in Clickentry determines the level of access a user has in a Clickentry organisation. 

• You can give them full access to all or most of the features. 
• You can provide them with access to only enter customer invoices or supplier bills, or both. 
• You can give them access to only view existing transactions. 
• You can grant them full or restricted access to Clickentry Expenses, Projects or Payroll. 

Don’t Share Login Details 

Each invited user should have their own separate login details and should not share it with other users. If they do, it won’t be easy to track which transactions were entered by which user or any other changes they may have made. This way the login details can be at risk of falling into the wrong hands and may leave your audit trail unreliable. 

To make your login more secure, you can also set up two-step authentication.  

Invite New Users or Edit a User’s Role 

The Organisation’s subscriber or user who is having the Manage Users permission, can invite new users or update existing ones into an organisation. You can invite any number of users into an organisation and there are no charges for this. 

When you have access to multiple organisations, the invitation will be from the organization you are logged into. 

If a user’s responsibilities get changed, either you can change their user role or delete them from your organisation. If you want to delete a Clickentry Subscriber from an organisation then you have to first change the subscriber to another active user.
