Click the name of each Role you want to assign to the standard user. Note: The ‘Link All’ button will select every role across every Product Area. The ‘Clear History’ button will undo any selected Roles.

  • Manage Automated Imports: This Role is non-functional and will not work if assigned to a standard user as Automated Imports are no longer supported.

  • Manage Imports: The user can access the Import Tool to create new or update existing data into your Apricot database. They can also import links.

  • Manage Record Archives: The user can access the Record Archives to search for records that have been removed from your Apricot database and, if necessary, re-activate or add them back into Apricot.

  • Manage Record Audits: The user can access the Record History tool to see which users have accessed or changed existing records.

The selected Roles will display under ‘Links to be Added Upon Save’ in the Assigned Roles section.
