Users and roles
Administrators configure roles and permissions to control user's access.
Users and Roles
Users and Roles provides a view of all active users, inactive users, user groups, and roles and permissions.
The roles available vary based on your software subscription.
A variety of user roles are available ranging from the Default role (read-only to most features) to the Administrator: Full Access role (full access to all features). You can only assign one role to each user. Administrators can create and manage Custom User Roles.
To quickly create multiple users, a spreadsheet is available.
Role and user management
Role management and user management can be assigned to different users.
Role management
A user with the manage permission for Security: Roles & Permissions can copy a system role and then customize it. This permission allows users to hide roles from the user management administrator and prevents them from being assigned.
User management
A user with the manage permission for Security: Users and User Groups can create users and assign roles and groups to users.
Hide modules and tabs
You can hide modules and tabs by removing the View option from a role.
Administrators create new roles
Two roles can create and edit users spreadsheets:
- Administrator: Full Access
- Administrator: Security and Global Settings
Only these two roles can see the Users and Roles option.
Permissions
A report of user roles and their permissions is available for download on the Users and Roles page.
Custom user roles are created by administrators.
Default user roles
The roles available vary based on your software subscription.
