      Creating Roles for 3PL Customer Access

      If you are a 3PL who provides Infoplus to your client's here is how to create those unique roles and permissions in Infoplus.

      As a 3PL you may wish to give your customers access to the system to view certain information. One of the best ways to fulfill their needs is to give them access to Infoplus so they can be self-sufficient.  With our user/role permissions, you can control what users can create, read, edit and delete in almost any table in the system. Empower them to pull reports, post ASN's and pull order reports with a few clicks of the mouse. (you may also be interested in User Reports that can be scheduled to send out via email) 


      Use this article as a guide to setting up a Role, commonly referred to as "customer portal."  The permissions set below are what we recommend as the "default" access.  

      Pro Tip: You have to have a Role created before you can do this step, see the Create a Role knowledge base article if you do not know how to create one.
