DRAFT - Provider/Employer User extensions

Extensions to the user rights for Providers /Employers

We have made changes to allow the Provider Primary User to be able to assign other roles to other provider users, or employers and to restrict them to read only access.

General tweaks to provider/employer screens

We have tweaked these screens to improve the user experience. The tweaks include:

Added a confirmation box when navigating away or refreshing, if you have unsaved changes
Added loading icons to the delete and primary user buttons within the user list

Sub user creation/editing improvements

To accommodate the changes and additions we’re making to sub-users the create. edit and view functions for providers and employers will now be controlled via a new screen, rather than in a small popup. This provides more space for these new features and also improves user flow and performance.

On this new screen, we have also added an indicator under the page title, so you know the user’s current status and the provider or employer name and so you can always see the organisation’s name you’re managing the sub-users for.

Standards and specialisms against providers and employers

We have added the ability to assign standards and specialisms against provider and employer sub-users.

The primary user can adjust these for other sub-users, however, an AO user will need to adjust them for a primary user. Sub users are unable to adjust their own standards and specialisms.

If no standards or specialisms are defined against a user, then it will default to using what is defined against the provider.

We recommend only adding standards or specialisms to sub-users that require a subset of the apprentices, otherwise, it will require regular admin to keep the sub-users in sync with the provider entity.

The standards or specialisms selected for a sub-user will change the visibility of apprentices within EPAPro and reporting.

It will also adjust the notifications they receive, so that they do not get notifications for apprentices that are on standards they have not been assigned.
