This article outlines the following:

  • How to assign and set a users role + permissions

  • Role Definitions

  • Permission Differences

When setting up user profiles, both the Role and Permission are important to set.

Roles determine what information we need about the user, permissions determine what the user is allowed to look at and what actions they may perform.

How to assign and set a users role + permissions

Note: Only users with Administrator permissions are able to alter a user's permissions level.

To set permissions for a user, go to Settings, then Users & Permissions.

From here, find the user you wish to edit, and click on their name to reach their profile. Click Edit.

Choose the new permission level you wish to grant in the dropdown.

Role Definitions

Setting Roles

Accounts can have one of three roles: User, Processor, or Originator. You will need to provide additional information about the user based on the account role.

User Role

User role accounts do not require any additional information. This is an ideal setting for system administrators who will not need to originate or manager loans

Processor Role

Processor accounts require the following additional information:

· Business Title

· Business Phone

Additionally, processor accounts can be assigned a loan team, and a lead distribution factor, and can enable or disable leads.

Originator Role

Originator accounts require the following information:

  • Business Title

  • Business Phone

  • NMLS ID (Originators)

  • Licensed States

  • Distribution Factor

Originating LOA Role

Originating LOA "Loan Officer Assistant" - these users are similar to an Originator, the main difference is that the Originator will be automatically included in the round robin for assigning leads vs. the Originating LOA role will not be included.

  • Business Title

  • Business Phone

  • NMLS ID (Originators)

  • Licensed States

  • Distribution Factor

  • Loan Team* (please get in touch with sonar to have this feature added)

Non-Originating LOA Role

Non-Originating LOA "Loan Officer Assistant" -This is an ideal role for an LOA that acts more as a support function to the originator.

  • Loan Team* (please get in touch with sonar to have this feature added)

The following chart details what abilities are granted by each permissions level.

Warning: Accounts with admin permissions have full control over the system, including setting permissions for other accounts. Admin permissions should only be given to trusted individuals who understand the system.
