Administrator Guide

Roles and Access

Plain-language summary of resident, coordinator, and admin roles.

SOC uses role-based access so users only see routes and actions relevant to their responsibilities. Understanding role scope helps prevent permission confusion and support escalation delays.

Role summary

  • resident: manages own profile, property, and community-facing resident pages
  • KYNG coordinator: supports assigned KYNG areas and coordinator operations
  • administrator: manages platform-wide community, site, emergency, and user-management workflows

Access behavior

  • protected routes require sign-in
  • admin and coordinator routes require matching permission scope
  • users without permission should receive a clear denied state instead of partial access

Practical examples

  • resident users cannot access admin route families
  • coordinators can only access assigned KYNG areas
  • admin users may have full or feature-specific permissions depending on role mapping

Operational guidance

  • verify role assignment before troubleshooting missing UI options
  • after role updates, have users sign out/in to refresh claims
  • use least-privilege assignments wherever possible
