3 Connections

Users will need to create a connection from a Contact to a Client. Open the Contact’s “contact” record and select the “Connections” tab. Click “+ New Connection” in the toolbar on the sub grid. Populate the “Name” field with the Client that the Contact is to be connected to. Populate the “As this role” field with the connection role that the contact requires. Press Save & Close, this will trigger a process which will provide the Contact with all of their permissions to access the Client’s data. If the contact required multiple permission sets, i.e. Business Tax and Payroll, create 2 connections from the Contact to the client, with the relevant permission levels. Page | 8 If a permission level needs to be changed, for example from Business Tax – Data Approver to Business Tax – Documents Only. Delete the Business Tax – Data Approver connection, and then create a new connection with the Business Tax – Documents Only role.
