What is a channel?
In the Allthings platform, a "channel" refers to a specific level within the app to which permissions can be applied. Channels are used to control access rights in a targeted manner and to make content visible to specific groups of users.
What are the different channel levels?
Channels can be defined at different hierarchical levels:
-
Level 1: App
The entire application, which includes all properties and units. -
Level 2: Street / Property
A specific property or street within the app. -
Level 3: Building / Address
A specific building or address within a property. -
Level 4: Residential Unit / Offices / Companies
Individual apartments, offices, or companies within a building.
Note: The selection of the channel level determines which area the permissions refer to.
How do channels affect permissions?
When assigning permissions for employees, it is necessary to define the corresponding channels.
The permissions apply exclusively to the selected channels and their subordinate levels. This ensures that employees only have access to the areas of the platform that are relevant to them.
Group channels under tags
Different channels can be grouped together under one tag.
Instead of manually selecting individual channels over and over again, you can create a tag once and use it. One click is then sufficient to assign permissions to a group of channels or to set the visibility for content.
