New Multi-Person Access Assignment

Overview

Going into a Person record and adjusting person's access rights is easy, but what if you are trying to change several people's access rights at the same time? Well, our new Multi-Person Access Assignment feature allows you adjust access rights at the same time. In this article we go over some of the new features and how to use this new feature.

 Warning: This feature should only be used by someone with proper BluSKY experience.  Mistakes can cause significant issues.

Using the Multi-Person Access Feature

Navigate to the Person screen. (Main Menu-> Administration-> People).

Enter your search criteria as needed and click SubmitBtn.png to populate the Person List. Once the list populates, select all the people whose access you want to change by clicking on them once. Be careful not to double click a person, this will de-select all the previously selected people and open the single person edit screen.

Once you have selected everyone you want to modify, click the MultiAccLvl.png button to open the Multi-Person Access dialog, with three options to adding and removing access.

 Information: By selecting the count button in the upper left corner of the screen you will select/de-select all rows.  This is a huge time saver.

 Information: When removing access is it OK to have people in the list that do not have the access being removed.  This makes is easy to remove access from an occupancy where some people have access and some do not have access.

Add or Remove Access Levels

When the modal dialog loads you will see a list of the People you have selected.

Towards the bottom of the screen you will see the Plus Sign.png Add Access Level(s) and Minus Sign.png Remove Access Level(s) buttons.

Reader Selection
