Creating Custom Admin User Types
ClubReady has up until now had two different types of admin user - Master Admin (which can do everything in the system) and Front Desk Admin (that has some restricted functionality - like being unable to access the setup or reports).
Especially now, with the improved dashboard functionality, having the ability place various snapshot widgets on the admin dashboard - just having those two different admin types became too restrictive.
A new feature has been added that allows the club to create as many different admin types as they want with a lot of ability to customize exactly what each admin type can do & see in the system. The dashboard layout & access to different dashboard widgets can also be setup for each admin type added.
So, a club might have an admin who’s whole job is to go after membership leads - they only need a specific view, another admin might be a PT sales manager, another - in the case of a chain of clubs might be a district manager. In that case the master admin might be reserved for corporate.
Setting up new admin’s types is easy - a new option has been added in setup > defaults > Admin permissions
After an admin type is created - then setting up what the new type can do is again - simple - you setup the permissions the admin has (currently there are about 80 different permissions) and then you setup what the dashboard looks like for this admin type (one of the permissions is also if they can unlock their dashboard & move stuff around - so you can create an admin type that has a fixed dashboard)
Then after the new admin type is setup - it shows up as an option when adding a new admin user to the system.
This allows for some very focused admin types to be created - restricted capabilities and also less menu options so their login area is overall cleaner for the job they have to do.
