User permission levels in Access LMS Evo are controlled by a combination of system roles and reporting scopes that affect what you're able to see and do on the system.

The various reporting scopes are detailed in the below table.

🤓 Tip: Ensure when granting permissions you are mindful the level being given is appropriate for the respective user/s.

Reporting scope

Details

Direct Reports

Users with this reporting scope can't see any further down in the organisation structure than their direct reports.

Can run reports on themselves and, if they're also a manager, anyone who reports directly to them.

All Reports

Default setting for all users. Users can run reports on themselves and if they're also a manager, anyone who reports directly to them.

If any of their direct reports are also managers, these users can see all the way down the organisation structure.

Organisation Unit

Users can run reports on themselves, anyone within their organisation unit and any sub units.

Users can't report on any units adjacent to or higher than their own unit.

Organisation

Users can run reports on all users within the organisation, across all units.

Organisation (Restricted)

Users can run reports on anyone within the organisation, excluding the unit they're in.

🤓Tip: We recommend using this if the user works in data sensitive departments such as HR.

📌Note: If the user is an administrator or manager, this prevents them from registering or emailing users within their unit.

All Organisations

This is the highest level of reporting scope.


Allows users to run reports on anyone, across multiple organisations.
