User Roles and Permissions
When a user requests access to CalTrap, they can select from multiple roles (see ROLE column in the matrix below). The Administrator can approve the user’s selected role or select a different role to meet desired access for that person.
The matrix below shows what functions each role can access in CalTrap Administrator. The functions are organized by each tab within the application (Survey, Assignment and Reporting). The Navigation tab is available to all roles so it isn’t included in this matrix. Note that Field Staff, CASS, Researcher and Rover have the same access to functions. Counties can use the different role names as needed to organize their staff assignments.
