πŸ’° Restricting access to financial data

In addition to the above, admins can further restrict who can view and edit financial data in Runn.
​
This comes in handy if you're uncomfortable sharing your employees' and contractors' internal hourly cost rates/salary information, or financials such as project billings, costs, profits and margins.

As an admin, you can set the financial permission level for a user when you invite them into the account. You can also change the permission level of users already in the account, see how to change a user's permission level below.
​
There are 3 different levels of financial access permissions to choose from:Β 

  • AllΒ 

  • RestrictedΒ 

  • NoneΒ 

πŸ’΅ AllΒ 

Users with this permission level have full access to all financial data in Runn.

πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ RestrictedΒ 

Users with this permission level cannot see financial data relating to your internal costs and your employees' and contractors' salaries.Β 

More specifically this means that users of this permission level cannot:

❌ None

Users with this permission level cannot see any financial information in Runn.Β 

In addition to the above, this means that users of this permission level cannot:Β 

  • get insights on billings, people costs, profits and margins anywhere in Runn. Financial data is entirely hidden from client, project and people pages, the charts and project stats on the Project and People Planner, and your project budgets.

  • access rate cards and create and edit charge-out rates.
