Updated on March 8, 2022 02:13AM by Admin

The Privileges feature of Apptivo allows you to provide access to selective employees added to your business. This feature is extended for the actions like export, delete, convert, and so on. Only those employees who have the selected privilege can view or perform the actions. For instance, Let’s consider creating the privilege for exporting the work orders in the Work Orders app.

Steps to Create a Privilege:

  • Log in and access the Work Orders app from the universal navigation menu bar.
  • Click on More(...) icon and go to Settings→ Security → Actions.
WorkOrders - Actions
  • Scroll down and you can see the Export toggle under the Action section.
WO - Export
  • By disabling the Export toggle, the delete option won’t show up on the opportunity page for all the employees.
  • You can define who needs to view the delete button, through privilege.
  • Click on the Privilege dropdown and select the Create Privilege to add privilege.

  • For instance, let’s create a new privilege named Export Action Privilege.
