I will describe how it works specifically in Planfix:
This is a separate class of settings, separate from the access settings.
You customize the interface elements, what to show and what not. In what form to show. Which items are opened by default when you log in or in applications.
You conventionally call this set of settings “For managers”, “Working with requests”, etc. Separately in “Access to workspace” you specify which employee can use this set.
For example, the system has 10 pre-configured workspaces (interface presets). I have access to 2-3 of them. Accordingly, I can only switch between them.
The administrator in the same way can switch to the set, where all unnecessary is disabled.
The idea behind these settings is to reduce cognitive load and simplify the interface. You only see what it takes to get the job done.
I am currently working on an article - one kind of interface. Analyzing the research results - a different kind.
But okay, these are all lyrics and Wishlist: 0) In Planfix, the implementation is also far from ideal at the moment. But the very idea of such a “focus” of the UI is very good.
