Choosing the Right Permission Level
Many auction companies initially assign Full Admin access to multiple staff members. However, most teams find they can maintain better security by assigning more specific roles.
Common role assignments include:
Responsibility | Recommended Role |
|---|---|
Manage users and system settings | Full Admin |
Manage auctions and registrations | Admin |
Close invoices and take payments | Admin + Accounting |
Build and manage catalogs | Admin + Cataloging or Cataloger |
Clerk bids during the auction | Clerk |
Assigning roles this way allows each team member to perform their duties without granting unnecessary access to sensitive areas.
