Alerts ⚠️

  • Send Alerts: Allows users to send alerts.
  • Administrate: Enables users to manage active alerts, including ending, upgrading, and escalating them (reserved for admin users).
  • Approve Permits users to approve or deny alerts for approval-required alerts only (less common).
  • Skip Check-in: Grants users the ability to bypass mandatory check-in questions (where are you and are you safe) during an alert, this is typically for responders.



 


Chat 💬

  • Send Message: Allows users to send chat messages (available to almost all users).
  • Delete Message: Enables users to delete chat messages (usually restricted to admin users).



 

 

Maps 🗺️

  • Check-In Users: Enables users to check in other users on the map (commonly used by admins, team leads, and managers).
  • Override Map: Permits overriding the map status to "danger" or "cleared" (restricted to admins and responders).

 

Settings ⚙️

  • Manage Members: Allows inviting new users, removing existing users, adding users to groups, or modifying their roles.
  • Text and Emails: Allows the user to view texts and emails history.
  • Alert History: Allows viewing past alerts, including chat history, alert analytics, and reports.
  • Preview Roll Call: Allows the user to view the roll call outside of an alert, this is to ensure accuracy of the rostering integration. 

Manage Group Settings permission is only for admin users.

  • Manage Group Settings: Provides administrative permissions for group configuration (editing alert types, plans, roles, etc.) and dashboard visibility.

 

 

Roll Call ✅

  • Take Roll: Allows user to mark a student as accounted for or absent.
  • Send Reminder: Allows the user to send reminders to others to complete or respond to the roll call (only sends a reminder to those who have not taken roll). Any user with this permission will see the Roll Call Dashboard.
  • Reset Roll: Allows the user to clear or reset the current roll call, this will clear out all responses and start the roll call from scratch during the same alert. 
    Any user with this permission will see the Roll Call Dashboard.

 

Roles Explained

Within the E3 Safety app, various roles are equipped with specific permissions designed to enhance safety management.

Creating Roles

Step 1:

Click the Group you want to create the role in.

Then go to Settings > Group Settings



Step 2:

From the Group Settings screen, Click on + New Role.

Step 3:

Enter the new role's name, choose your permissions, then click Save.

 

Please note that editing a user’s role can only be done by a Workspace Admin. To make changes to a user’s role, the admin must access the Admin Portal, where they can update roles and associated permissions. Regular users do not have the ability to edit roles, so any role changes must go through an admin.
