About Permissions
Finalsite Enrollment offers the ability to add permissions to individual accounts. Enabling permissions gives users access to different components of the system. Each permission level designates what the admin/user has access to when they log in.Â
You can read more about the different permission options for accounts in our Admin Portal Accounts: Permission & Access Controls article which contains links to full articles about each separate Permission.
Granular Permissions are permissions that you can attach to Email Templates and Checklist items to designate which Admins can/can't interact with them.
 Real World Example
You have a checklist item on your admissions checklist where you allow students to upload their Immunization records. You'd like the student's medical information in these checklist items to be confidential in your site, only accessible by admins with Medical permissions.
Setting the checklist item with the Medical Permission option will enable you to do this.
Now that you have set Medical Permissions to this checklist item, the data held within the checklist item (which, in this example are immunization records), will only be visible to admins who have Medical Permissions enabled on their account.
