System Viewing and Access Rights

SENRO Manages comprehensive Viewing Rights and Access Controls to ensure every user can only navigate through permitted sections and pages of the system, and view clients, activities and commissions based on their hierarchy. 

To explain this in more detail, this section of the user-guide will cover the following:-

  1. Organisational Structure
    This section explains how your organisational structure could be configured. More information is available under the 'Management' section of the user-guide.
  2. Ownership
    This section explains how ownership of clients, applications and commission records are established and managed for viewing rights.
  3. Configuring Viewing Rights
    This section explains how to configure your staff viewing rights based on your organisational Structure and Ownership of Records.
  4. Using Viewing Right Controls
    This section explains all the sections and pages in SENRO affected by viewing right controls.
  5. Configuring and Using Access Controls
    This section explains how to configure the Navigation and Function Controls to restrict staff access to selected sections, Pages and specific functions.

Organisational Structure

You can configure in SENRO an organisational structure that supports large Network/Aggregation Groups, toSmall practices and Sole Traders. For smaller companies the configuration can be simple and easytofollow and for large groups the configuration can be comprehensive but user-friendly. The diagram below demonstrates the structures that can be configured.

NB: The green dotted line representsasole trader to small practice configuration.

  • The Company Branch represents the location Company Staff operate from, for prospect/client relationships.
  • Black arrows indicate how the organisational structure is connected. E.g. Company Staff are connected to a Company Branch, which is connected toa Company.
    NB: A Company can own multiple branches, and a branch can have multiple staff. A branch can also be owned by multiple companies, and a member of staff can workfor multiple branches.
  • Red arrows represent additional relationships between the organisations. E.g. Introducer Branches can be associated to a specific Company Branch or Company Staff. Company Branch can also be linked to Head Office Branch, such as regional offices.

Note

For more information about setting up your organisational Structure, please refer to the relevant management sections of the user-guide.

Team Configuration

You can create multiple teams in SENRO, and each team has a single 'Team Leader'. These members and leadercan either by Company Users, or Head Office Users. The Red dotted line below demonstrates a team structure.

Refer to 'Team Configuration' under the Management section of the user-guide for more information on configuring and using teams. This section of the user-guide will explain 'Team Viewing Rights'.

Ownership

SENRO Assigns Ownership to client/prospect records at 3 levels, which are shown in the table below. 

The relationships must belong to:-

  • Company Branch
  • Company Staff

Relationships are assigned to a 'Company Branch' and 'Company Staff' , as Advisers need to be set up under this structure. But there must be a relationship between these parties. This means the Company Staff Member must have the 'Company Branch' linked to them in their staff profile. The relationship of a client/prospect cannot be owned by an adviser and branch that are unrelated, it is critical that the adviser works for the branch. Throughout the system, where relationships are entered you will see 2 drop downs, as shown below.

When you select a 'Company Branch' when entering relationships, only 'Company Staff' assigned to that Branch will appear in the Adviser/staff drop down. This also works the other way around, so if you select from the 'Company Staff / Adviser' drop down first, then any branches that the staff member is linked to will appear in the 'Company Branch' drop down. You must select a 'Branch' and 'Staff' (Adviser) for every ownership record.

Warning

You cannot unlink a company staff member from a company branch whilst active relationships exist for prospects or clients. In the event that you try, this will trigger the warning  message below. Refer to the section below for the definition of a relationship.

Please note that relationships with clients and prospects can only belong to a Company Branch and Company Staff.

  1. Head Office Staff cannotown relationships with Client or Prospect records.
  2. Introducers are assigned to the client prospect relationshipasa 'Source'.
  3. Call Centres have no ownership with a client or prospect record.

Ownership Management Table

A client record is owned at 3 levels. This gives the flexibility to change the ownership either at a single level or all levels. These levels are as follows:

Configuring Viewing Right Options

This section covers:-

  • Ownership Viewing Right Options:-
  • Viewing Rights Based on Organisational Structure
  • Viewing Rights Logic

n.b.

Call Centre Staff have full viewing rights to client and prospect data. Please refer to navigation controls on how you can restrict their access to permitted areas.

Ownership Viewing Right Options:-

Your viewing rights use different logic for different sections of SENRO. For example, you maybe set up with permissions only to see your own clients, but permissions to see your administrator's activities.

To manage these situations, viewing rights are divided in the following 4 categories, each part of the system will reference one or more of these viewing right settings.

N.B.

The defaulted settings are as follows:

  • Introducer 'Activity Create: Each Introducer is assigned to an adviser (Company Staff). All Activities will automatically be assigned to this user.
  • Introducer 'Commission View: Introducers can only view their own commission value.
  • Head Office Commission View: Head Office have full commission viewing rights on the applications they are permitted to see under Activity view.

Viewing Rights Based on Organisational Structure

N.B.

There are currently no access level controls for commissions. This will be introduced with V4.5. you currently have access to accounts, you can filter by all companies, branches and staff.

Example:

Some sections require Activity View and Client Viewing Rights. For example, you maybe an 'Application Owned for a client who has transferred their relationship to a new adviser within the company. You will be able to view any historical applications in the pipeline and reports, but without the 'Relationship Ownership' you will not be able to gain access to the client file, unless you have viewing rights to see the new adviser client records. E.g. Your client viewing rights are set to 'Company View'. In this instance, the pipeline is referring to the 'Activity View' (who wrote the application), in which case is you. But to open the file it's checking 'Client Viewing Rights', (who has the current relationship), in which case it isn't you, therefore it will check if you have 'Client Viewing Rights' for the current adviser's records. If so, you will be able to gain access to the file.

Head Office Workflow Diary Viewing Rights

For Head Office Staff, the Workflow Diary refers to 'Activity Viewing Rights'. However, it only displays Head Office Company, Branch and Staff activities. Head Office Staff do not have viewing rights to company activities. All other sections that refer to Activity Viewing Rights, reference the relationships between Head Office and Company Branches.

Example:- The Opportunity Manager uses 'Activity Viewing Rights', this means a Head Office User will see all Opportunities assigned to Company Staff under the Company Branch linked to the Head Office Branch, that the Head Office User is assigned to. In Workflow Diary the Head Office user will see all activities assigned to the Head Office Users of the same Head Office Branch.

Commission Viewing Rights

The system enables you to pay commissions to various parties, below is an example of how you can configure your Commission Viewing Rights:-

  1. Show All Values
  2. Hide Channel Net and Company Gross Values
  3. Only Show Channel Gross and Distribution Values

    N.B.

    Distribution values are adviser introducer payments

Based on which option you select, the values will be displayed in the Fees Page, Pipeline and Reports as shown in the table below:

ChanneI Gross

IMPORTANT: You can create more complex commission structures, allowing introducer payments, adviser splits, multiple company ownerships, bonuses etc. Please refer to the commission guide for more information.
