Advanced User Rights

User rights now include the option to assign advanced user rights to team members who access your generate.TAX account. This is particularly useful for large teams where users are only authorised to work on specific areas of the VAT process.

It is now possible to assign or limit granular user permissions on a per-entity level for specific parts of the VAT workflow. For instance, do you want everyone on the team to be able to create or cancel a submission? Or do you want to limit who has access to change the mapping of your tax rates? This feature empowers your team with precisely the right functionality and control. The following granular rights are available:

Create Submissions - This will allow the user to create new tax submissions (Preparer)
Approve Submissions - This will allow the user to review and approve submissions created by the preparer (Reviewer)
Cancel Submissions - This will allow the user to cancel submissions
Create Tax Rates - This will allow the user to create Tax Rates in this entity directly from generate.TAX
Manage Returns - This will allow the user to create new return mappings and to edit mappings
VAT Number Checker - Enable this function for users who need to access the VAT Number Checker for this entity

You can view how to access and check the rights by watching this video. By default, all users currently have full rights to an eneity once they've been given access.
