Roles and access rights

How do I control who has what roles and access rights in my corporation?

Good management and overview of the roles and access rights of members within a corporation is the greatest responsibility of a CEO. Misplaced trust or granting the wrong role or access to the wrong member can often severely damage a corporation both financially and morally. Therefore having good working knowledge regarding how the roles and access rights within a corporation work is a valuable weapon for any corporation manager.

All role and access management is done through the members tab in the corporation management window.

Role Management

A pilot can access the role management tab under the members tab in the corporation management window as shown below.

To have access to this tab a pilot will need to be the CEO of a corporation, have the director role or have one or more grantable roles assigned to him.

The View drop-down menu allows a pilot to set the view to roles, grantable roles or titles. The Type drop-down menu will allow a pilot to set the view to display General (roles, grantable roles and titles), Station Service (station service roles) and a selection of different views for access rights for wallet divisions, hangars and containers.

To assign a role, grantable role or a title to a member of a corporation, the checkbox in the correct column and in their name’s row should be checked. Then the save changes button needs to be pressed at least once to apply any changes made. Please note that even if a box for a particular role is not checked for a pilot, that pilot may still have that role assigned to him through a title.

Description of all Roles, Grantable Roles, Station Service Roles and Access Rights is available at the end of this article.

Grantable Roles

A pilot with a grantable role is able to assign that role to another member of his corporation. For example, if a pilot has the accountant grantable role, he is able to give other members of the corporation the accountant role. The same pilot does not necessarily have to have the Accountant role himself although he could give it to himself if he wanted.

Access Rights

Access rights control how a pilot interacts with a corporation’s hangar and wallet divisions. Some roles will require certain access rights to be set properly in order to be able to perform some of their functions. More details on each type of access right can be found at the end of this document.

Titles

Titles are a pre-created set of roles and access rights that can be assigned to a pilot. A CEO or a director in a corporation can access title management through the Corporation Management window under the members tab just like role management. Clicking on a title in the name column will allow a CEO or director to rename that title. Checking the checkbox in the same row as a title will assign the role or access right associated with that column to that title. The Type drop-down menu can be used to navigate through the various roles, station service roles, grantable roles and access rights. Once you have your title set up and saved, you can assign it to a pilot through the role management tab by selecting titles from the view drop-down menu.

Access Right Types

• Wallet Divisions – Accounting (Divisional)
  • Checking a box for a particular wallet division for a pilot will allow that pilot to take ISK from that wallet division or otherwise use that wallet division as per his other roles.

• Hangar Access
  • A pilot can have either a query right or a take right from a hangar division. Having a take right automatically gives a pilot the query right as well. With a query right a pilot can view anything in that hangar division, but can not take anything or otherwise interact with the items there. With the take right the pilot will have full unrestricted access to that hangar and may take items from there as he pleases except audit log containers (see container take rights below). A pilot with take rights can still open such containers, just not move them to his own hangar. Hangar access rights are divided into Headquarters, Based At and Other.
    • Headquarters
      • Rights set for headquarters will only be in effect for the office which is designated as the corporation headquarters.
    • Based at
      • Rights set for Based At will only be in effect for the office which the pilot is listed as being based at.
    • Other
      • Rights set for Other will be in effect at all offices the corporation owns that do not fall under either Based At or Headquarters.
• Container Access
  • This access right will allow a pilot to remove audit log containers from a corporation hangar he has access to. Without this role that pilot will receive an error message when he attempts to do so. Note that the pilot in question will still be able to open the container and access items in it if he has the hangar take access right to that hangar.
