Granting Privileges

 
     

As you create new user accounts and profiles for the members of your staff to use in your site, you should give great care to distributing access rights inside your site. By limiting access rights to just those members of your team that absolutely need them, you secure your website against both accidental and intentional damage. To grant or limit access privileges for any user account in your site...

  1. Open a user account and then scroll down to the User Privileges section.
  2. Check the box beside each permission to grant access to each feature or remove the check beside a box to revoke access. Permissions include:
    • Wizard - When checked, this gives the user permission to edit the look, feel, and content of your site.
    • XSellerate - If you own a copy of our XSellerate marketing system, checking this box flags this user as your dedicated marketing coordinator. By checking this box, you remove XSellerate permissions from another user account in order to grant it to the current user.
    • User Management - By default, users can only manage their own user accounts and profiles.  By checking this box you flag the user as an administrative user who can access and update all user accounts and profiles.
    • Real Estate Agent View Only - If you have close partnerships with local real estate agents and would like to give them access to your site so they can view an entire list of loans they've referred to you and their current status, check this box to do so. Since this account privilege dedicates the profile to an agent, the agent will NOT have access to your site's administrative tools, but ONLY to a list of referred loans and their statuses.

           
        Hint: This is a great way to eliminate those status callbacks from realtors.  Just create profiles for realtors whom you work closely with and grant them only this permission.  From that point on, they can log into your site admin and view the status of any loan apps that apply to them.  
           
  3. When finished assigning and revoking privileges, click Save to update the profile.
