Who can do what? / Rights management

Kappr has two user categories: Members and Admins. The account owner has the additional right to change any settings related to payments. Apart from that, the account owner is an Admin. By default, new users are added as Members. Once added, any Member can be changed to an Admin and vice versa. When adding a new user, you are asked to select to which company he/she belongs.

  • Members: These are your employees. A Member can add new messages, tasks and files to projects and can comment on all items. He/She can only modify his/her own content. Members only see their projects and only the members of their projects. They do not see the other projects you are working on and do not see with whom your are working.
  • Admins: Admins are the account owner and your project managers (or in some companies “organizer dude”). Anyone can be an Admin; even people in other companies. An Admin has all the rights ordinary Members have. In addition, Admins can also create new projects and companies, add new Members and modify all content. They also can see all users (even in projects they are not themselves a member of).
Red elements are only visible to Admins.

Red elements are only visible to Admins.

Users who belong to the account owner’s company can send private e-mails and also have private files. Here, private means visible only to members of that company. In the list views, these items are marked by the word “Private” and are invisible to people in other companies.

The Members’ interface is as clean as possible. The links and blocks in red (as in the screen capture on the right) are only visible to Admins. All admin actions are red and therefore invisible to Members.
