The table below outlines the security groups that may be assigned to a user via the Paradigm user interface. The permissions are ordered based on scope of access from least to greatest.

2 | Applicant | A prospective student who is interacting with Paradigm via the application portal. |
3 | Student | A student user with mostly read access but the ability to update their address details, register for units, generate a limited set of letter reports and view other records exposed to them by the Institution. |
4 | Reception | The lowest level of staff user with almost exclusively read access to a limit set of student related information. |
5 | Tutor | An appropriate level of access for a part time or casual teaching staff who needs to look up student details, enter attendance, record assessment marks or make notes against a student. |
6 | Staff |
NOTE Default security group assigned by the system to newly created Contact logins.
A general level of access with a moderate degree of edit access to student related information and records. |
7 | Student Services | Intend for users who require the functionality of a staff member together with the ability to record advisor / examiner / reviewer |
8 | Student Admin | An alternative profile based on the flex admin security group. |
9 | Flex Admin (also known as part time registrar) | Similar scope of access as Full Admin but lacking access to the System and Accounting menus, and the ability to edit published grades or bulk generate invoices. |
10 | Accounting | An appropriate role for an accounts receivable role that is focused on maintaining financial records including invoices and payments within Paradigm. |
11 | Marketing | This security group has a wide scope of access including student records, agents, invoices and payment related records. |
12 | Full Admin | The standard security group given to power users with the ability to view, edit and break everything within the system. |
13 | HR Admin | Intended for Institutions who want to record sensitive HR related information within Paradigm for the purposes of staff reporting. |
14 | System Admin | Intended for institutions who require a higher form of Full Admin with full system permissions in order to limit the typical scope of Full Admin access. |

NOTE
Different security levels will be granted to a user – to have different levels of access to the system. A suitable level needs to be granted to a user to give sufficient access.
This may be read-only e.g. Student Level or Reception Level Access;
Editing rights e.g. Staff Level Access;
Administration level e.g. Flex Admin or Full Access e.g. Full Admin; and
Some access levels will restrict some sections of the system that can be viewed e.g. Accounting or Human Resources.
