You can restrict users from editing contact names in the Contacts module by adding the permission level rule britecore/contacts/storeContactName. When a user with this permission level rule tries to edit a contact name, a Warning pop-up window will open stating, You do not have permission to complete the requested action.
To add the permission level rule:
- Navigate to Settings > System Wide > Permissions.
- In the Permission Levels section, select the pencil icon next to the permission level you want to add the rule to, such as Employee or Underwriter.
Note: If you don’t see the permission level you want to add the rule to, you may need to first add the permission level. See Add permission level.
- Select + Add Rule to add a new rule.
- In the Access column, select the None radio button.
Note: If you select the Read/Write radio button, the user will continue to have access to edit contact names in the Contacts module.
- From the Rule dropdown list, select britecore/contacts/storeContactName. BriteCore will automatically save the new rule.
- In the Role Permissions section, ensure the role that matches the permission level you added the rule to is assigned the correct permission level. For example, if you added the rule to the Employee permission level, ensure that Employee displays in the Employee Role Permissions dropdown list.
Usage considerations
You can also restrict users from adding roles. See Restrict users from adding roles. Permission levels can also be set at the contact level in the Contacts module. See Permissions version 1 overview to learn more about the interaction between permission levels set at the role level and permission levels set at the contact level.
