Assigning the correct organizational unit

If a new user is created, you have the option of assigning

  • organizational units and

  • additional organizational units

These units regulate all visibility and editing options for the user within caralegal.

Users always have the option of seeing entries for

  • their own unit and

  • all subordinate units

The user shown here has access to

  • Caratraining > Cara GmbH > Marketing

  • As well as all units that may be located under Caratraining > Cara GmbH > Marketing

Important

  • Organizational units and

  • Other organizational units

Have 100% equal rights within a user. They could also have been kept as a list. To indicate a main affiliation, we decided to go with two selection fields.

Implications in various features

All entries/documents have the fields

  • Responsible organizational unit and

  • Other organizational units

Responsible organizational unit

Users who hold the unit of the responsible organizational unit shown here receive read access and write access to the entries/documents.

Additional organizational units

Users who own the additional organizational units shown here only receive read access to the entry/document.

The logic shown here according to

  • Responsible organizational units and

  • Other organizational units

can be transferred to ALL features.
