What is Testify?

Testify is the flexible enterprise solution for digital quality assurance of your business processes. From incoming inspection to final acceptance and beyond, you can create and manage digital checklists and workflows. You can get an overview of your business processes, implement safety and quality standards and analyze the data in the integrated dashboards.

Role concept

What does the role concept look like?

Based on available functions, roles can be designed individually and with fine granularity.

What roles are there?

Pre-defined standard roles such as issue engineer, quality engineer, quality manager and admin are provided. Own role definitions can also be created and adapted individually.

How are roles and authorizations assigned?

All actions visible in the frontend (buttons, features, functions, etc.) can be individually authorized for each role. In connection with the creation of groups, we thus enable our customers to map their individual organizational structures – this functionality has already been tested with customers from various industries and of various sizes (from local players to multinational corporations).

Are the roles strictly predefined or can they be customized according to requirements?

Roles can be created individually and independently according to internal company guidelines and responsibilities.

If so, how precisely can individual roles be defined (e.g. admin role: one role with all rights or several admin roles with possibly restricted rights)?

We recommend that you define a role for a defined user group with all rights to avoid possible deadlock problems in advance. In addition, however, you can create your personal administrators with limited rights in various roles and thus map your corporate structure.
