Adding a Business Role to a member of staff

What is a Business Role?

Staff require a Business Role to be considered active, and to be able to log into Arbor. Adding a business role to a member of staff will also assign that member of staff a set of permissions. This is not directly linked to the role/job title detailed in the staff member's contract.

  • New staff that have been added manually will need a business role in order to access Arbor.
  • Current staff can have additional Business Roles added to their account on an ad-hoc basis, to cover further access that may be necessary for them to complete their tasks.

Please note, you are not able to create your own Business Roles, but you are able to change the name of any existing Business Role!

If a staff member is missing from your search or staff lists, it might be because they're missing a business role. When we migrate your data over to Arbor, we map contracts to the closest business role we can find.

If you didn't record the staff member's contract in your previous MIS, we won't have been able to allocate the staff member a business role. You can find them using these instructions, and then give them a business role. 

 

Adding a Business Role

Please note that you cannot add business roles to staff in bulk.

From the business roles overview

Go to Users & Security > Select a Business Role > Users. Click the green Assign to staff button.

Select and assign a role to their account.

If the staff member should only have the role until a set date, such as if they are on secondment, select an end date rather than leaving the position as ongoing.  

Top tip: In order for permissions associated with their new business role to take effect - the staff member will need to log out of Arbor and back in again.
