Conga Contracts provides 40 default permission types, which are used to control user access to program data, tasks, and features such as Reporting, Direct Editing, and approving or making contract requests.

Conga Contracts provides 40 permission types, which are used to control user access to program data, tasks, and features such as Reporting, and approving or making contract requests. System Administrators create individual user roles and assign one or more permission types to each role. Administrators then add program users to Conga Contracts and assign one or more roles to each user. A Full User may be assigned a role with up to all permission types selected.

There are five (5) permissions reserved for Request/View User Types (but may be assigned to Full User Types). Request/View User Types have restricted permissions and are typically assigned one and up to all of the following permissions: eSignature Admin, Reporting, Requester, and Scorecard Viewing.

Tip: This role allows Administrators to perform both the administrative tasks shown above and the user tasks for any workflow. User tasks include (1) completing, reassigning, and approving any step in the workflow (2) managing workflow documents, and (3) editing, closing, and deleting the workflow.

User roles work in conjunction with default permissions by allowing Administrators to create individual roles in Conga Contracts and then assign one or more permissions to each user role. In addition, security can be applied to a user role so that the groups (Company, Contract, and Project) that can be accessed by the users assigned to that role can be limited, as well as the level of access to additional forms and document types. Once all the user roles have been defined, Administrators can then add users to Contracts.
