# Configuring Access to Centre Management

HTML version: [Configuring Access to Centre Management](https://support.gladstonesoftware.cloud/gooperator/configuring-access-to-centre-management)

## Problem
You need to allow staff (such as front of house users) access to Centre Management in GMC without giving them full Operator access or permissions to other Operator features.

## Resolution

1. **Open the Operator Limited Role**
   - In GMC, go to `Security Configuration > Roles`.
   - Select the **"Operator Limited"** role.

2. **Assign Users to the Operator Limited Role**
   - In the **"Select users to assign to role"** box, choose each user who should have access ONLY to Centre Management.
   - Click **Add Selected** to assign the chosen users.
   - If you want to assign all listed users, click **Add All**.
   - Users who already have the Operator Standard or Operator Admin roles will not be impacted if they are also assigned to this role (but see Notes).

3. **Save the Role Changes**
   - Save the changes to apply the updated permissions to the selected users.

4. **Assign Full Operator Access to Administrators (if needed)**
   - If some administrators need full access to Operator, repeat the process.
   - Instead of "Operator Limited," select either the **"Operator Standard"** or **"Operator Admin"** role.

## Notes
- This applies to administrators and users managing roles and permissions in the GMC.
- The user performing these steps must have permission to add or amend roles and permissions.
- Access to GMC and Operator is required to complete this process.
- Other guidance says to give each user **one** Operator role: a user given both Operator Limited and Operator Advanced lost Configuration access, and 360 uses the role with the least access when a user holds more than one. Check access after assigning a second role. See [Block Booking Permissions in Go Operator](block-booking-permissions-in-go-operator.md) for what each Operator role allows in Centre Management, and [Gladstone 360 Permission States and Roles](../gladstone360/assigning-and-creating-security-roles-in-the-gmc.md).
