Project Permissions

The Core of Management: Project Permissions

In 4HSE, the project is the heart of your company’s safety management. This is where overall user access is defined, ensuring that everyone has the right responsibilities and visibility. Managing permissions at this level is essential for maintaining order and security across the system.

Permission Groups for the Project

To simplify management, 4HSE provides four predefined permission groups for each project:

• Admin: Full control, for those who need to manage every aspect of the project.
• Manager: For supervisors who need to actively operate but without the ability to manage advanced permissions and configurations.
• User: For users who need to view data without modifying it.
• NA (No Access): For users who require extremely limited or no access to the project.

Assigning a user to one of these groups impacts not only the project itself but also their permissions on related entities like offices and suppliers, thanks to an inheritance system that saves time and effort.

Permission Overview by Role

The following table provides a clear overview of what each group can do at the project level.

Group	Project Permissions
Admin	Full project management Read and write permissions Role assignment Access to configuration and contract menus
Manager	Partial project management Read and write permissions Cannot view the Permissions, User Logs, Contract, and Configuration sections
User	Read-only permissions
NA	Very limited access, without the ability to manage or view data

Inheritance: A Cascade of Permissions

Permissions set at the project level are not isolated—they cascade to related entities. Once a user’s role on a project is defined, there is no need to configure each individual office or supplier.

The following table summarizes how project roles automatically propagate to other entities.

Project Role	Office Role	Person Role	Supplier Role
Admin	Manager	Manager	Admin
Manager	Manager	Manager	Admin
User	User	User	User
NA	NA	NA	NA
