User Roles

Creating and Assigning User Roles in TEQ

User roles are one of the most important steps when setting up TEQ. Roles determine what each employee can access and perform, ensuring your system stays organized, secure, and easy to manage.

Examples of role usage:

  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό Sales staff β†’ Access to Sales only
  • πŸ“… Planners β†’ Access to Planning sections
  • 🏒 HR personnel β†’ Access to HR features only

Step 1: Open User Roles Settings

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Admin β†’ User Roles.
  2. Here you can view, edit, or create a user role.

Step 2: Create a New User Role

  1. Click βž• New Role.
  2. Enter a clear role name such as:
    • πŸ“Š Sales
    • πŸ“… Planning
    • πŸ”§ Admin

πŸ’‘ Tip: Use consistent naming conventions so employees easily understand their access level.

Step 3: Set Actions and Features

When editing or creating a user role, define:

  • Actions β†’ What the user can do
    (create, edit, delete, approve, notify, plan trips, etc.)
  • Features β†’ What the user can see
    (Sales, HR, Planning, Invoice, Settings, etc.)

Only give access to what the employee truly needs. This keeps your TEQ environment structured and reduces the chance of accidental changes.


Step 4: Assign Roles to Employees

  1. Go to Settings β†’ HR β†’ Employees.
  2. Find the employee and click the Details icon.
  3. On the employee card, click Edit Access (top right).
  4. Select the correct User Role.
  5. Save your changes.
