Before you begin: The ability to configure and access the TapClicks platform depends on permissions. User permissions are determined by user type and role. There are four user types, and roles within each user type further define permissions.
The Four TapClicks User Types
- Super Admins
- Have full access to their entire TapClicks instance. They can manage all user and client data, business units, and client groups.
- Have access to the Connect Data Sources screen and all the administration functions.
- Are authorized to create all other users.
- Business Unit Admins
- Have full access to all user and client data, business units, and client groups within their business unit.
- Can create new Clients, Agents, Business Unit Admins, client groups, custom dashboards, and data profiles for their business unit.
- Clients
- Have access to their data only.
- Can log in to the dashboard and generate reports themselves.
- A single Client can be associated with multiple profiles for different data sources. This is the combined record that connects all the sources into a single view.
- Agents
- Have access to the client group that they have been assigned to.
- Have access to the dashboard and report generation, but do not have access to Connect Data Sources or administration capabilities.
- Can be assigned various roles that expand or limit their permissions in the platform.
For small or medium-sized companies, only the Super Admin and Client user types are typically needed. In such cases, all Clients are managed centrally by your company. If you require separate branding for your business unit reports or want to summarize several Clients in groups, consider configuring Business Units and Client Groups. Once you have those, you can add the Business Unit Admin and Agent user types.
| Note: All TapClicks users are identified by email address and can be invited to the platform by sending a welcome email. Users can also be imported with a default password during implementation. |
