Please note: If you require a user to be set up with access to Gold-Vision Connect please contact our support team
Before fully deleting a user, we recommend initially setting them to be disabled. In the user record, change their user level to "Disabled". This will stop them accessing Gold-Vision but allows any items owned to be transferred to other users. Disabling a user does not remove ownership of items. Any users who currently have access to those Accounts will still have access. A disabled user does not count towards the user licence count.
Once any changes of ownership have been completed the user can be fully deleted from the user configuration screen by clicking the delete button. This will remove ownership of any accounts, but leave that user as owner of other items and their records of notes, etc will remain intact. They will no longer be able to be selected as owner of any items.
To move a User, open the user by clicking on their name then choose a new Primary Team from the drop down selection, then save the user record. This can also be achieved in the Team Memberships screen.
To view a list of all Gold-Vision teams, select Users then View Teams from the main menu. To edit a team click on its name, this will open a new window with the team edit screen. To add a new team, select New then Team from the main menu.
Important Note: Gold-Vision team membership has two levels. "Primary-membership" represents a user's main team. However, users can be added to multiple teams under what is known as "Secondary Membership". Users can be a member of many teams. The important impact of adding a user to a team (via Primary or Secondary membership) is that they will be able to "see" that team's accounts and sub-items under their "team" lists.
Selecting a team enables you to edit the following:
1. Summary - this is the name of the team as it will appear in Gold-Vision.
2.Details - optional notes about this team.
3. Opt to share emails within the Team
4. Select a Team Leader*
5. To add an existing user to the team via "Secondary Membership" click the Add button and select the user from the list that appears.
To move a user between teams via "Primary Membership", edit the user from the main View Users list, change their Primary Team and click Save
* Team Leaders - this relates to Lead Management. Team leaders can reassign leads allocated to the Team. There can be more than one team leader per team.
A more visual view of user team memberships can be obtained by selecting Users then Team Memberships from the menu:
Editing / Managing a Team
To edit or manage a team, click on the team name. This appears at the top of each box.
Editing a User
To edit a user, or move their “primary membership” to another team, click on their name.

Team Leaders - this relates to Lead Management. Team leaders can reassign leads allocated to the Team. There can be more than one team leader per team.
!Important Note: The important impact of adding a user to a team (via Primary or Secondary membership) is that they will be able to “see” that team’s accounts and sub-items under their “team” lists. For more information on security and teams, please see Appendix A.
Access to Gold-Vision item types (Opportunities, Projects, Reports etc) can be restricted by Primary team using the Team Access Options Screen. To open this screen select Users then Team Access Options from the menu.
It may be that certain users or teams do not require access or edit abilities to item types which are irrelevant to them or access/editability to these types may be restricted for security or business reasons.
The access options screen lists your GV teams down the left hand edge. Next to each team, horizontally, is a list of Gold-Vision item options. To set the access/edit/delete options modify the relevant checkbox and click Update. When a user’s team does not have access to a particular item type, all icons and menus to that item type will “disappear” from the Gold-Vision user interface.
If a Team has Access to an item, they will be able to View the information, but not edit or delete the item.
The Edit option grants the team the ability to view the item and change it, but not to delete. Delete gives the team full control over the items.
The item types are grouped into two main areas: Gold-Tracker functions, Gold-Vision functions.
Using the checkbox you can modify access, edit and delete abilities across Gold-Vision items.
