Roles

Roles define what access and permissions a user has within the system. Each role controls which modules, pages and actions a user can see and use.

Roles are assigned to team members and portal users to ensure each person only has access to the functionality relevant to their responsibilities. The system ships with a set of standard roles; you can define custom roles tailored to your team’s structure.
