The first thing you'll want to do with Cofactr is make sure all your team members have access to the platform. Cofactr offers robust permissions so users get access to the information they need when they need it, wether that means full access to bills of material, purchasing, and shipping, or any part of those features.
Your users can be internal team members or external partners. Each user can have access to any part of the platform or limited access based on their role. For example an external Contract Manufacturing partner probably shouldn't be able to edit a Bill of Materials.
To create a new user log into Cofactr and navigate to the Account tab in the navigation and then select Users. Then click on 'Add User' in the upper right hand corner of the platform.
You'll be prompted to add the user information including their email, first name, last name, title, and then their permission level.
You'll have various options for the level of permission. They include:
Permission Level | Access |
Admin | Full access to the whole Cofactr platform for viewing, editing, and buying as well as the ability to create and delete users. |
Full Access | Full access to the whole Cofactr platform for viewing, editing, and buying. |
Read Access | Full read access to Cofactr, giving access to view all information but not to edit or purchase. |
Full Parts | Ability to view all parts |
Read Parts | Ability to view all parts |
Full Boms | Ability to view and edit BOMs |
Read Boms | Ability to view BOMs |
Full Purchasing | Ability to purchase Shopping Lists |
Read Purchasing | Ability to view Shopping Lists |
Full Inventory | Ability to view and request handling of inventory |
Read Inventory | Ability to view inventory |
Full Planning | COMING SOON |
Read Planning | COMING SOON |
Permissions can be granted as groups, for example a user could have access to 'Full Purchasing' meaning they can purchase anything in the platform combined with 'Read Boms' so that user can also view and BOMs that are in the platform.
Once you have selected the level of permissions you want to give the user, click 'Save' and the user will receive an email inviting them to join Cofactr.
