User Management
Overview
User management in timveroOS provides comprehensive control over system access through role-based permissions and departmental organization. This module ensures secure access while maintaining operational efficiency through structured permission hierarchies and audit capabilities.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
The system implements role-based access control through a hierarchical structure:
Organization Level: Top-level system access
Department Level: Functional area restrictions
Role Level: Specific permission sets
User Level: Individual access assignments
Department Configuration
Departments serve as both organizational units and workflow boundaries within timveroOS.
Setting Up Departments
Navigate to Settings → Catalogs → Decision Departments to configure:
Department Code: Unique system identifier
Description: Clear functional description
Active Status: Enable/disable departments
User and Department Management
Department Assignment
Departments are assigned at the user level, not the role level. Each user is associated with a specific department that defines their organizational context.
Configuring User Departments
Accessing User Management:
Navigate to Admin Panel → Users
Select the user profile to configure
Assigning Department:
Locate the Department field in the user profile
Select the appropriate department from the dropdown menu
Save changes
Role-Department Interaction:
Roles define permissions and capabilities
Departments define organizational scope
Role permissions apply within the user's assigned department context
Users can only be assigned to one department at a time
Example Configuration
A user with the "Credit Analyst" role assigned to the "Retail Lending" department will have credit analyst permissions scoped to retail lending operations only.
Department-Workflow Integration
Departments determine:
Warning assignment routing
Work queue visibility
Escalation pathways
Access boundaries
Role Configuration
Creating Roles
The system provides granular permission control at the role level:
Permission Categories:
Applications: Create, read, update, archive
Decisions: View, override, approve, decline
Documents: Generate, upload, delete
Reports (only if exist): View, export, schedule
Configuration: Read, modify, deploy
Decision Permissions
Roles can be granted authority to make various types of decisions within the lending workflow. These permissions determine which actions users with this role can take on applications and deals.
Available Decision Actions
Approve
Grant permission to approve applications
Users can move applications forward in the workflow
Typically assigned to underwriters, credit analysts, and managers
Decline
Grant permission to decline applications
Users can reject applications with documented reasons
Requires decline reason code selection
Typically assigned to underwriters, credit analysts, and managers
Review
Assign for review without final decision authority
Users can analyze and comment on applications
Cannot approve or decline without escalation
Typically assigned to junior analysts and support staff
Refer
Grant permission to refer applications to another department or user
Enables workflow routing to specialists
Maintains audit trail of referral chain
Configuring Decision Permissions
Accessing Role Configuration:
Navigate to Admin Panel → Roles
Create new role or edit existing role
Locate Decision Permissions section
Setting Permissions:
Enable desired decision actions by checking the corresponding boxes:
☐ Approve
☐ Decline
☐ Review
☐ Refer
Configure decision limits (if applicable):
Maximum decision amount
Product type restrictions
Department scope
Save role configuration
