Overview

Global Access Settings in Quantum Workplace help manage user visibility and permissions across surveys. This feature ensures consistent role assignments and data visibility for both current and future surveys.

Requirements

• Available to full admin and survey-admin users

Access Global Access Settings

To access Global Access Settings:

1. Click and expand Administration; click Surveys
2. Click and navigate to the Global Access Settings tab

Global Assignments

Use Global Assignments to manage a user's visibility into survey results according to a specified org tree. Global Assignments allow you to manage user visibility across all surveys- both current and future. 

Create an Org Tree

Create org trees to define the hierarchical structure by which uses can view and filter survey data. Users are assigned to specific nodes of the org tree to manage visibility in survey results.

To create an org tree:

1. From the Global Access Settings tab, click Create Org Tree
2. Enter an easily identifiable name in the Org Tree Name field, e.g. Location-Department 
3. Click-and-drag demographics from the Demographics column to the Org Tree Structure column in the specific hierarchical order
   • Org trees allow a maximum of five demographics and can be rearranged as necessary
4. In the Preview column, view and interact with the real-time org tree preview

   Note: The preview is generated from your live user data. Live user data includes all active users plus any inactive users who have a term date less than 30 days ago. This is to make it easier to use tree data related to exit surveys.

5. Click Publish to finalize your org tree or Save Draft to resume at a later date
6. Click Publish Org Tree in the confirmation modal
   • Once published, an org tree cannot be edited; a tree would need to be archived and a new org tree created
