Kuali Ready - Admin - User Roles

An important part of user management in any computing system is managing user permissions. In Kuali Ready you assign permissions to users by assigning them a user role and by assigning rights at the plan level (for certain user types).

You can see information on user roles on the pop-up while creating a user within Ready, but this article also provides that helpful information.

Available User Roles:

Admin

• Has full access to Ready
• Receives notifications that other roles do not
• Can view and edit all plans that have been documented for the institution
• Can access and manipulate system configuration panels
• Can turn on and review new feature releases prior to general release

Ideally, an institution will have no more than two to three Admins.

Power User

• Can view and edit any plan in Ready
• Can also add, edit, or delete users

This role is useful as a backup to the Admin role.

Global Viewer

• Can view all plans, but has no edit rights unless edit rights are specifically granted within the plan

This role is useful for executives and internal audit.

User

• Has only those rights granted to them at the plan level
