[edit] Test Case 2: Managing Roles
You can define the organization-level hierarchy using Roles. Users at higher hierarchy can access (including CRUD operations) all the records of at lower hierarchy. For example, Sales Manager can access all the Sales Reps' records where as Sales Reps can access only their records. in which data access will be provided according to users' hierarchy in an organization.
Note: Before creating a role ensure that you have already created some of the organization level user profiles such as Sales Rep, Sales Manager, Marketing, Support, Stores Operations, Stores Manager, System Administrator, etc.

[edit] Test Case 3: Manage Users with Access Privileges
Immediately after installing vtiger CRM admin user will be created for accessing all the modules. Afterwards admin user can create more users according to the organization requirements.

[edit] Test Case 4: Managing Groups
You can create different types of groups (set of users) to manage a set of common records. For example, team selling, team support, event management by group of marketing people, and others. Users associated with a particular group can access the records assigned to a particular group and perform the necessary operations on the records (For example, leads, accounts, trouble tickets, tasks, and events).
Steps in creating a group:

- Associate groups, roles, or users to the group
- Modules under group scope

Error Conditions:

[edit] Test Case 5: Setting up Default Organization Fields Access
You can control the field (for example, First Name or Last Name in Leads module) display in various modules for the entire organization, so that organization level business process can be customized to some extent from vtiger CRM user interface instead of programmatically defining the fields in various modules.
Note: You cannot disable some of the mandatory fields (for example, Last Name and Company fields in Leads module) in modules.
Input Data:
Enable/Disable fields in various modules

[edit] Test Case 6: Setting up Default Organization Sharing Access
You can control the data sharing at organization level. Other users can access the owners' records as per organization-level data (records in various modules) access privilege. You can provide the following types of access levels to vtiger CRM modules:
- Private: Only record owner can view the record. Others users including vtiger CRM administrator cannot view the owner's records.
- Public: Read Only: Other users can only view the records. They cannot perform any operations.
- Public: Read Create/Edit: Other users can view, create, and modify the records. They cannot delete the owner's records.
- Public: Read Create/Edit, Delete: Other users can perform all the operations such as, view, create, modify, and delete the records.
Input Data:
For each module specify the type of access.
Expected Result:
The default organization level sharing access is configured.
Limitations:
<To be Started>
Error Conditions:

[edit] Practical Test Case 7: Multiple Location Business
(This was written by Don to me on portal.vtiger.com - Ken)
Regarding the creation of Roles, you have to create each set of roles for each centre and add all the users in a centre to a single group.
For example if you have two centers in one in California and another one in Las Vegas then you have to create two different set of roles like:
Regional Manager - California |__ Location Manager- California |__ Senior Worker - California |__ Junior Worker - California
Regional Manager - Las Vegas |__ Location Manager- Las Vegas |__ Senior Worker - Las Vegas |__ Junior Worker - Las Vegas
The following problem will arise if you have only one set of role:
For example you have roles in the following structure:
Regional Manager |__ Location Manager |__ Senior Worker |__ Junior Worker
Now you associate the manager and workers of all region fitness to the following roles. Now when the Regional Manager of California logs into the system, he will be able to view the data owned by the L.Manager, Sen Worker, Junior worker of the all the regions like Las Vegas, Washington, Newyork etc. This is because the user at the top level of the hierarchy can create/view/edit/delete all the data of the user 's present below them in the hierarchy tree. So for your requirement it is advisable to create separate roles for separate centres.
