Default roles serve as pre-configured templates within the training management system, providing a foundation for common job functions and their associated competencies across an organisation. This article explores the concept of default roles and delves into the robust reporting features available from the roles page, offering insights into how these tools can streamline role management and provide valuable data on role-based training progress and compliance.
1. Default roles
Video: Default Roles
Default roles specify which (if any) roles are to be automatically added to any new users added to Lucidity HR. Since users can be classified as an employee, casual or subcontractor, there is the ability to specify separately which roles are automatically added for each classification of user.
Note: The role first needs to be created as a standard role initially and then assigned default role status.
Changes to default roles are not retrospective, meaning a newly created default role will not be applied to existing users. It will only be allocated to relevant new users moving forward. If existing users require the role, they must be allocated the standard role manually.
To create or edit default roles, from the Default Roles page:
- The list of currently saved default roles is displayed, indicating which apply to each type of user.
- Click Add New to add a new default role and populate the relevant options.
- Click Save when complete.
- Existing default roles can be edited by clicking the edit button.
- Existing default roles can be deleted by clicking the Actions then Delete button.
Deleting a default role does not mean that the entire role has been deleted. This just removes the role from the default roles page and adds it to the current roles page. The role will no longer be automatically applied to new users.
