Roles control user access to tabs and actions within ALICE. Create a Role per job type or department on property and apply them to user profiles. Roles can be created on an individual property level or a group level.

User Type & Roles

To perform this action in ALICE, the user must have at least Hotel User Admin User Type access.

Things to Consider

Multiple Role templates can be applied to a single user.
Users without a Role applied will receive an “Access Denied” error message upon login.
Roles can be created on the property level or the group level. A group level Role must be applied to users who will need to access multiple properties in the group. An individual property level Role can be applied to users who only need access to one property.
Some Roles you create in ALICE will be very similar to others with only minor changes. In this case, consider copying Roles as you are creating them rather than creating a new one each time. This function is intended to save you time as you set up Roles for the first time, or are building out new Roles for your teams.
To provide or restrict user access to tabs in ALICE, enable or disable the checkboxes within the Tabs section.

Delete Roles

IMPORTANT!
Before deleting any role in ALICE, it is important to know which users will be affected. Deleted Roles will automatically be removed from any user profiles. Users will get locked out of ALICE if they do not have a role assigned to their profile.

Navigate to “Manage Users” in Admin and filter the user list by Hotel Name (when applicable; if you are using ALICE on a single property, this field will not appear.)
Use the “Roles” dropdown to filter the Role that is being deleted.
This will populate a list of users that will be affected by the deletion.
Select users that will need to be updated by using the checkbox to the left of the usernames.
Select “Manage Roles”
Add a Role to users as needed.

Be sure that each user has AT LEAST ONE Role applied. Users that do not have a Role applied to their profile will be denied access to ALICE until one has been applied.

If you have deleted the Role without completing the steps above, filter “Roles” to “No Assigned Role” to view any users without a Role applied.

Steps

Select the Role to be deleted.
Select “Delete Role”. This will remove the Role from the Roles List as well as from any users it was applied to.
