Admin — Theatre Privileges and Access

Overview

Access to theatre functions is controlled by a set of specific privileges assigned to user roles. An administrator configures these privileges in the role management screens. This article lists all theatre-related privileges and explains what each one unlocks.

Navigating to Privilege Management

  1. Click Administration in the main menu

  3. Select the role you want to configure

Understanding Privilege Scope

  • Privileges are role-based — assign them to a role, then assign users to that role
  • A user with access to two institutions will only see theatre data for their authorised institution and department
  • The Theatre privilege must always be enabled — it is the gate that shows the Theatre menu; all other theatre privileges depend on it

Troubleshooting Access Issues

  • Check that the Theatre privilege is enabled for the user's role
