How to create roles in Taxlink?

Follow these simple steps to create custom roles with specific permissions in Taxlink. Proper role management ensures users have appropriate access levels for their responsibilities.

Step 1

Click on Role Management

Navigate to the Role Management section in your Taxlink admin dashboard

What you'll need to do:

  • Login to your Taxlink admin account
  • Look for "Role Management" or "Roles" in the main navigation menu
  • Click on the Role Management option to access role settings
  • You will see a list of existing roles in your system
  • The interface displays current roles and their permissions
Admin Access Required

You need administrator privileges to access the Role Management section.

Step 2

Create a New Role

Click the "Add New Role" or "Create Role" button to start creating a new role

What you'll need to do:

  • Look for the "Create New Role" or "+ Add Role" button
  • The button is usually located at the top of the roles list
  • Click on the button to open the role creation form
  • A new dialog or form will appear for role configuration
  • Ensure you have admin privileges to create new roles
Step 3

Name the Role and Set Permissions

Enter a descriptive name for the role and configure the specific permissions

What you'll need to do:

  • Enter a clear, descriptive name for the role (e.g., "Sales Manager", "Data Entry")
  • Add an optional description explaining the role's purpose
  • Review the available permission categories
  • Select specific permissions for each module (Read, Write, Delete)
  • Consider the principle of least privilege when setting permissions
Permission Best Practices

Use descriptive role names and follow the principle of least privilege - grant only necessary permissions.

Step 4

Select the Role Type

Choose the appropriate role type based on the level of access needed

What you'll need to do:

  • Review available role types (Admin, Manager, User, Custom)
  • Admin: Full system access with all permissions
  • Manager: Departmental access with limited admin rights
  • User: Standard access for daily operations
  • Custom: Tailored permissions for specific needs
  • Select the role type that best matches your requirements
Role Type Guidelines

Choose role types carefully. You can always modify permissions later, but it's better to start with appropriate access levels.

Step 5

Role Created Successfully

What you'll need to do:

  • Review all the role settings and permissions
  • Double-check the role name and description
  • Verify that all selected permissions are correct
