Managing Rank Permissions

This guide covers managing rank permissions within departments in Sonoran CMS.

What is the CMS Rank System?
Managing Rank Permissions can be a pain when you have several departments that all require several forms, rosters, etc. With Sonoran CMS, we've made improvements to make your life a little easier when managing permissions on ranks.
Default Department Permissions
Each department is able to have default permissions, these permissions are applied to all ranks within the department upon permission evaluation. These are the same set of permissions that are able to be given to ranks individually.
Duplicating Ranks & Departments
By allowing users to duplicate an entire department or a single rank, it will make creating and managing departments much easier. Duplicating a whole department will allow you to edit a department before you save the duplicated department. If you do not want to duplicate an entire department and just need to add more ranks to a department, you can duplicate a rank by hitting the orange outlined button next to the move buttons on a rank.

Permission Copy & Paste System
While modifying or even creating ranks, you'll want to share permissions across them; you can easily copy and paste permissions across ranks by right-clicking the header permission (ex. "CMS Permissions," "Roster Permissions," etc.) if you want to copy and paste specific roster, form or calendar permissions you can right-click the label of the roster, form, calendar, etc.
