User Roles

User Roles

User Roles Overview

User roles are set up to group permissions across multiple users set by the administrator, similar to how Employee Groups work. The permissions are inherited from the account and then passed down to the user in the end. This makes managing permissions by mass far easier than in a user-by-user case, as similar types of users can be grouped together: corporate users, auditors, district managers, etc.
