The access control page allows you to determine what your user roles are allowed to manage in the system. Each category has different options that you can allow or deny access to each of your specific user roles.
Please note that the administrator role has full access to the system which you can’t be changed. One important thing to take into account is that a user can be grouped into several roles. When this happens, the system will take the “Allow” permission as the priority. For example, user “A” has a role of “User” and “Manager” and in the “Manager” role, the permission to delete reservations is set to “Allow” whereas the “User” role is set to “Deny”. The outcome of this is that user “A” will be able to delete the reservation because the “Manager” role has the permission to do so.
By default, certain users can skip validations. For example, Managers can skip needing a driver’s license when filling out the customer details in Step 4 if it is allowed. On another note, an Administrator will always be able to skip validations.
Where can I find this page?
This page is located under the User Management category in the settings, highlighted in dark blue in the picture below.
You can change which user role you would like to manage by switching the tabs located on the top of the page, highlighted in orange in the picture below.
You can also expand the categories by clicking on the titles of each category, highlighted in orange below.
There are 3 types of permissions for the system, Not Set, Allow, and Deny. The default permission that the system uses is “Not Set”. For certain critical actions such as “Can book reservations on past” it already set to “Deny” and has to be explicitly set to “Allow”, whereas most cases it is already set to “Allow”, and will explicitly need to be set to “Deny”.

Access control per Branch
If you have multiple company branches, you can set it so that your different company branches have different users settings.
Step 1
Navigate to Settings > Car Rental > Car Rental > Settings tab > Extra Features section highlighted in dark blue in the picture below.
Step 2
Select “Yes” under the “Enable ACL per Company” highlighted in orange in the picture below.
Step 3
Firstly, set the global settings for your user roles in Settings > User Management > Access Control.
Step 4
Then navigate to the company branch that you want to set the access for. Here you will notice extra tabs that have appeared which are highlighted in orange in the picture below. The number of tabs that appear depend on the number of user roles that you have. To learn more about user roles, click on this link here.
Step 5
Using the same example as step 3, you will now need to set the rule to “Allow” highlighted in orange in the picture below. By doing this, the company branch rule will overwrite that which is in the global setting.
