Permissions in Limble and Default Permissions for Each Role

Overview

In Limble, permissions are used to allow users to perform actions and see information about your organization within Limble.

Instead of configuring permissions for individual users, roles are groupings of permissions that are assigned to users by location.

By default, Limble offers Technician, Manager, and View Only as default roles. In addition to these, Enterprise customers can create custom roles to configure unique permission sets.

Many permissions have dependencies on other permissions in order to function properly, so read each permission description carefully.

Global permissions are only available to Super Users.

This article covers our entire permissions library and which permissions are included by default with the Technician, Manager, and View Only roles.

If you want to see a breakdown of which permissions are included with each default role, check out this article.

Table of Contents

Open Tasks

Included in this section (click on the permission to expand the description!):

View My Open Tasks (#42)

What it does: This allows a user to view open tasks assigned to themself, their role, or their team.

This permission is often used with 'Edit and Complete My Open Tasks (#44)' so that the user can also edit and complete their tasks.

Dependencies: Enabling 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' will override this permission. If you do not want a user with this role to view all open tasks, including tasks that are not assigned to them, make sure to disable permission #35.

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

Edit and Complete My Open Tasks (#44)

What it does: This allows a user to edit or complete open tasks assigned to themself, their role, or their team.

This permission is often used with 'View My Open Tasks (#42)' so that the user can edit and complete their tasks.

Dependencies: Enabling 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' will override this permission. If you do not want a user with this role to edit and complete all open tasks, including tasks that are not assigned to them, make sure to disable permission #23.

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

View All Open Tasks (#35)

What it does: This allows a user to see all open tasks, including tasks that are unassigned or assigned to other users or teams.

This permission is often used with 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' so they can also edit and complete all tasks.

When this permission is enabled, the user with this role will see the ‘Manage Work’ navigation item on the web application. If it is disabled, they will see the ‘Open Tasks’ navigation item instead.

Dependencies: None

Default Roles: Manager, View Only

Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)

What it does: This allows a user to edit and complete all open tasks, including tasks that are unassigned or assigned to others.

If you only want a user to be able to see all tasks at a location, but not complete them, enable ‘View All Open Tasks #35’ and leave this permission disabled.

If this permission is disabled, the user will only be able to see a preview of the task.

Dependencies: 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' must be enabled for this permission to work.

Default Roles: Manager

Start New Tasks (#43)

What it does: This allows a user to start new tasks such as PMs and WOs.

Dependencies: Other permissions may restrict the ways a user can start a task. For example, if 'View All Open Tasks (#35)' is disabled, the user won't see the ‘Manage Work’ page. Therefore, they would be unable to start a work order from there.

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

Submit a Work Request (#45)

What it does: This allows a user to submit a work request within the mobile and web applications.

Dependencies: This permission does not control if someone can submit a work request through the work request portal. Since the work request portal is open to anyone (even those without logins), permissions cannot be applied to control access.

Default Roles: Technician, Manager, View Only

Change Assignments of Open Tasks (#26)

What it does: This allows a user to reassign an open task. This permission includes bulk reassignments.

Dependencies: None

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

Change Due Dates of Open Tasks (#46)

What it does: This allows a user to change the due date of an open task.

Dependencies: None

Default Roles: Manager

Change an Open Task’s Priority Level and Task Status (#101)

What it does: This allows a user to change the priority level of an open task and the task status.

By default, Limble offers 3 priority levels: 1 - High Priority, 2 - Medium Priority, and 3 - Low Priority. If permission #101 is enabled, the user can also edit and add priority levels.

By default, Limble offers 3 task statuses: Open, In Progress, and Complete. If permission #101 is enabled, the user can also edit and add task statuses.

If this permission is disabled, the user can only view priority levels.

Dependencies: None

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

Edit an Open WOs Instructions (#47)

What it does: This allows a user to edit instructions and settings of an open work order (WO).

Dependencies: If this is enabled, the user should also have 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' enabled.

Default Roles: Manager

What it does: This allows a user to edit instructions and settings of an open preventative maintenance task (PM).

Dependencies: If this is enabled, the user should also have 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' enabled.

Default Roles: Manager

Edit an Open Work Requests Instructions (#104)

What it does: This allows a user to edit problem report instructions and settings of an open work request (WR).

Dependencies: If this is enabled, the user should also have 'Edit and Complete Any Open Tasks (#23)' enabled, since WRs or problem report instructions often need to be adjusted.

Default Roles: Technician, Manager

Delete Open Tasks (#24)

What it does: This allows a user to delete open tasks.

Use caution when enabling this permission: once a task is deleted, it cannot be restored.

Default Roles: Manager

Override Automatic Task Timer (#183)

What it does: This allows a user to change the time shown when they click ‘Log Time’ or ‘Complete’ in a task, also known as the task timer.

If this permission is disabled, a user cannot change the time entered in the task timer. If they want to add additional time spent on a task, they would need to open the task and wait until the task timer catches up to the initial time they entered in the task timer.

They will also be unable to enter less time in the task timer, so if they accidentally enter an amount larger than their time spent, they will be unable to correct their mistake.

We do not advise disabling this permission. If you choose to disable this permission, be sure to provide adequate staff training on how to use the task timer properly.

Dependencies: None

Default Roles: Technician, Manager
