Managing Employees

You need to understand the following concepts before configuring employees.

Figure 1 Employee configuration
  • OU: An enterprise tenant space has a default OU. You can create OUs under the default OU based on responsibilities. Multiple organizations can be created under each OU. For example, you can create the customer service department and maintenance department under an OU.
  • Role: A role indicates a set of work permissions. When you assign a role to an employee, the employee has all the permissions contained in the role. For example, a role can be an agent, administrator, case owner, and task handler.
  • Function permission: Function permissions are abstracted from GUI resources (for example, permission for using specified menus) and GUI operations (for example, addition, deletion, modification, and query). An employee can perform operations on a resource only when the role assigned to the employee has the corresponding permission. Function permissions are static resources that do not change with resource configuration data. Function permissions include the following:
    • Basic Function Permission: Permissions of a role.
    • Grantable Function Permission: Permissions that can be assigned to other roles by a role. Only the roles of the current account can be assigned to new roles.
  • Employee: Employees indicate personnel employed by an enterprise. After a role is assigned to an employee, the employee can perform operations limited by the role permission on the system.
