Can I restrict a role to specific productions/locations?

No. Permissions in SetConnect apply to every production in your account, so access can’t be limited to one production or a group of productions/locations.

Roles and permissions apply across the whole account. You can’t limit a role, or any permission within it, to one production or a selection of productions.

Why a role can’t be limited to one production/location

SetConnect doesn’t have production-specific versions of permissions.

That includes Productions/Locations: View, which lets someone open producitons in the first place. Once an employee has Productions/Locations: View, they can open every produciton in your account on the web portal.

You can’t narrow that access to particular produciton locations.

What Productions/Locations Permissions control

Permissions such as Productions/Locations: Incidents and Productions/Locations: Safety Observations control which parts of a produciton someone can work in, not which producitons they have access to. For example, an employee with Productions/Locations: View and Productions/Locations: Incidents can open any produciton and work with the incidents recorded there. 

If someone shouldn’t access all productions

Roles and permissions can’t restrict an employee to a single produciton. Employees can also see the full company produciton list in the Mobile App regardless of their RBAC roles. 

If someone needs production-specific access, contractor access works differently. 

Note

Contractor companies are managed on a production-by-production basis. If a contractor company isn’t linked to a production, the employees linked to that contractor won’t see the produciton in their production list on the Web Portal or Mobile App. 

If you’re deciding how much access different people should have, plan your roles around the work they need to do.
