Permission Groups

A permission group is a group of users who share the same set of permissions. You can see a list of your permission groups by going to Users > Permission Groups.

Clicking on a permission group shows you its properties, which are categorized into sections on page:

Linked Authentication Groups — If you are using an LDAP authentication provider, these authentication group’s users are automatically added to the permission group.
Users — This section shows the users who have been added to the permission group.
Access Permissions — A list of the permissions assigned to the permission group appears in this section.
Assign Group Access to Specific Flows — If this permission group has been assigned access to particular live flows, they are listed in this section. Users in this permission group, along with any other groups that have been assigned access to these flows, can access these flows and their submissions, documents, releases, layouts, and models.

To learn more about changing these properties, see Managing Permission Groups.

Default permission groups

Hyperscience comes with a set of built-in permission groups. You cannot delete these groups or change their permissions.

System Admin

The default active permission group, System Admins effectively have full access to the instance and production data. They are uniquely able to change advanced system settings, manage field data types and the field dictionary, review the jobs queue and restart halted jobs, modify user access and permissions, and more. System Admins are typically engineers and the most senior business users. There must be at least one System Admin user upon installation.

Business Admin

Business Admins are primarily responsible for the management of layouts. By default, they have most permissions, except some reserved for System Admins. They are able to see all system reporting and make and delete submissions.

Data Keyer Admin

Data Keyer Admins are able to see and manage the work queue, as well as view reporting related to all individual keyers. They are also able to complete Supervision and Quality Assurance Tasks.

Data Keyer

Data Keyers by default have very limited permissions. They can see and complete Supervision tasks, and they can view the outstanding queue.

Knowledge Worker

Knowledge Workers have the same default permissions as Data Keyers, except that they can also view submissions. This added permission allows Knowledge Workers to complete all tasks associated with a submission.

API User

By default, API Users only have the permission that allows them to send API requests. To learn more about our APIs, see our API documentation.

Trainer API User

Trainer API Users have permission that allows them to send API requests to trainer-specific endpoints.

By default, the system includes all users who have API access in this permission group. We recommend editing this group so that it contains only the user you have created for the trainer.

Permissions

The table below lists the available permissions, along with the default permission groups they are included in.

While you cannot edit default permission groups, you can duplicate them and customize those duplicates to meet you needs. To learn more about creating permission groups, see Managing Permission Groups.
