Unit membership

A Unit membership defines the Users permissions in Ziik and consists of the Unit where you have located a User inside your organisation and that User's User types (roles) from that Unit.

Managing permissions for users who work in different locations

Sometimes you may have users who work in different locations inside your organisation. Ziik is built to manage these use cases. Remember that we refer to that as working in different Units in Ziik. Please also note that if a User belong to more Units they can have a unique set of permissions (User Types) in each unit.

Example of multiple Unit memberships - A user can be manager in your Head Office with permissions to share information with the entire organisation. The same user can be Manager Supervisor in your regional office. Ziik is completely flexible in this way.
