<h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3><p>Operations Center is a work management system built for security.

<h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3><p>The Operations Center features a comprehensive permissions system that specifies what actions users can perform within the platform. Roles, which can be thought of as the "hats" users wear, define their capabilities and access to various parts of the system. This flexibility ensures that only the right people have the right level of access, enhancing security and organization.</p><p>Roles are assigned at two levels: <strong>System Level</strong> and <strong>Board Level</strong>, allowing for granular permission management across the platform.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Key Components</strong></h3><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="table"><table style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);"><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);width:150px;">System Role</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);">Defines access to features that affect the entire Operations Center system (tenant).</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);width:150px;">Board Role</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);">Defines access and permissions on a specific board, allowing different roles on different boards.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>1. System Roles</strong></h4><p>System Roles determine access to features that impact the entire Operations Center system, also known as the tenant. The most fundamental System Role is the <strong>System User</strong>, which enables a person to log into Operations Center. However, this role grants no additional access unless further roles, such as Board Roles, are assigned. This implies that every user of Operations Center must have at least the <strong>System User</strong> role assigned.</p><p>A System Administrator, however, as the name of the Role implies, can access and change system setting (e.g. the system name, the currencies used, etc.).&nbsp;</p><p>System Administrators <strong>DO NOT</strong> have access to any information on a board, unless they have the respective Board Roles assigned as explained in the following section.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/e5cd252d-423e-481c-846d-859e9c622afb"></figure><p><strong>* Limited read-only:</strong> Guests and Dashboard&amp; report Admins can only view resources selected by system admins on each board. This enhances the security by limiting the resource visibility.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Creating and editing a new dashboard</strong></p><p>In Operations Center, all users can view and benefit from the data displayed in dashboards available inside the states view of their board. However, only dashboard and report administrators can create new dashboards and modify the data shown in them. Click <a href="https://docs.ops.center/en/article/dashboards-in-operations-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> to read our dedicated training on dashboards.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/c399d9d4-1cd2-4d79-a851-e5f2b224f085"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4><strong>2. Board Roles</strong></h4><p>Once an individual or group is assigned System Roles, they can also be assigned Board Roles to specify their capabilities on each individual board. This flexibility enables the same user to have varying roles on different boards, facilitating precise and granular permission management across Operations Center.</p><p>Currently, the following <strong>Board Roles</strong> are available:</p><p><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/96f328fb-5e9c-430a-b0a3-ba00325f97ee"></p><p><strong>* Limited Access:</strong> Board checklist users can update a card only by checking checklist items to show progress, while commenters can only add comments. Neither can modify any other fields.</p><h4>&nbsp;</h4><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4><strong>3. Custom Roles</strong></h4><p>At the moment, Operations Center includes predefined roles, but in a future release, users will have the ability to create custom roles</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</strong></h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Can I assign multiple roles to a user?</strong><br>Yes, users can have different roles across different boards, allowing for flexible access and permissions.</p><p><strong>Can I create custom roles?</strong><br>Custom roles will be available in a future release, allowing system admins to define tailored roles and permissions.</p><p><strong>Do system administrators have access to board data?</strong><br>No, system administrators can manage system settings but do not have access to board-specific information unless they are invited to boards with specific <strong>Board Roles</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Contact Support</strong></h3><p>If you have questions or need assistance, please reach out to our support team via <a href="mailto:oc-support@genetec.com">OC-Support@genetec.com</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Related Articles</strong></h3><div class="raw-html-embed"><style>

<p>In Operations Center, a board visually represents your workflow, with columns representing different stages and<strong> Cards </strong>corresponding to individual projects, tasks or work.&nbsp;</p><p>You can create cards in various ways to keep your work organized and efficient. Whether it’s adding cards manually from your board, setting up automated triggers to create them, or using the Operations Center plugin for Security Center, there are plenty of options to help you stay on top of your tasks.&nbsp;</p><p>In this article, we’ll walk you through all the methods of creating cards in Operations Center, so you can choose the best approach for your team’s needs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Add a Card on Your Board</strong></h3><p>To add a card, locate the <strong>+</strong> icon and click it.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/69238550-d933-47a2-8913-0a2956b45633"></figure><p>This opens a popup where you can add relevant information to your work task or project. In Operations Center, we categorize each work item, making it easier to filter your cards for a less cluttered view of your board. More importantly, we offer full customization per category of work. Each category can have a specific layout set by<strong> Board Admins</strong>, giving access to the relevant fields for that particular type of work.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><meta charset="UTF-8">
