Getting the Documents to the Parim environment is just one step. How to make sure the right people see the right documents and/or files.

  1. Document and/or File Visibility


1. Review Document Access

Review access by role

Access is determined by a person's role and their connection to the document's sub-category - Person, Location, Client, Event, or General (e.g., being a supervisor for a specific site).

  • Superadmins and Managers have:

    • Access to All documents across the platform.

  • Department Supervisors can:

    • See documents in the Locations which has their department attached, or for Locations with no department (none) assigned.

    • Can see documents uploaded to their own Profile.

    • See documents in any Location and/or Event where they are going to, or have had any shifts

    • If access for documents and people details is enabled in the System Settings > Role Permissions, see documents on employees' profiles within their assigned/supervised department or on employees with no department attached.

    • May be granted access to Client, Event, or system-wide documents via System settings > Role Permissions.

  • Location Supervisors can:

    • See documents attached to the specific Locations they supervise.

    • See documents for Events that take place in the locations they supervise.

    • See documents uploaded to their own Profile.

    • See documents in any Location and/or Event where they are going to, or have had any shifts

  • Employees can:

    • See any document that has been made Visible to all people (in the Document Management),

    • See Location documents if the Visible to a person or related employees toggle is on and they are listed as a "preferred person" for that location.

    • See Event documents if the Visible to a person or related employees toggle is on and they have a shift in that event.

    • See documents they uploaded to their own Profile or documents that have been uploaded to their profile by others and made visible to related persons.

  • Clients can:

    • See any document that has been made Visible to all clients (in the Document Management)

    • See Location documents if Visible to related clients is turned ON, and it's their active client location.

    • See Event documents if Visible to related client is turned ON, and they are the client for that event.

    • See documents on their own Client Profile if Visible to related client is turned ON.


Check the document's home/origin and sharing toggles

Visibility starts with where a document is uploaded and how its sharing settings are configured. Please refer to the Documents Management tab, where you can see if the document relates to a Location, Client, Event, Person, or None/Blank is listed next to a file. This tells you where the document was uploaded to and is attached to that specific sub-category.

Next, check the sharing settings.

  • Specific sharing toggles grant access to related people if the document is tied to a specific sub-category

    • Visible to the related client

    • Visible to the person or related employees

  • General sharing toggles grant broad access across the entire system.

    • Visible to all clients

    • Visible to all employees

There will be further explenation for each sub-category below.

General Do

To ensure employees and clients do not see a document, make sure all sharing toggles are turned off.
