Roles and what they can do

Every staff member has one role. A role is a list of permissions. Four roles come with every organisation, and the Owner can make more.

  • Owner: everything inside the organisation.
  • Admin: runs the organisation day to day, except roles.
  • Operator: handles users, cells and alarms at the lockers.
  • Viewer: can look at everything and change nothing.

Custom roles​

The Owner can create a role such as "Front desk" with exactly the permissions it needs. See Roles.

One person, one exception​

A single person can be given one extra permission, or have one taken away, without changing their role. See Permissions for one person.

What only IMBox can do​

Some things are handled by the IMBox team, not by your organisation:

  • setting up locker stations, zones, readers and Bluetooth locks;
  • switching self-registration on or off for a zone;
  • changing how often a station reports and when it raises an alarm;
  • running the fix tools and looking at a station's technical state.

If you need one of these, report an issue and IMBox will do it.
