Appropriate assigns different roles to users that determine what actions they can take and what information they can access. Understanding these roles helps both users and administrators keep data safe and workflows efficient.
Types of User Roles
-
Administrator: Has full access to all settings, user management, and data in the system. Can add, remove, or edit user roles and permissions.
-
Manager: Can access most features needed for managing teams or projects, but may have some restrictions on system-wide settings.
-
Member/User: Standard access for day-to-day use. Can view and interact with relevant content but cannot manage user roles.
-
Guest/Read-Only: Limited access, usually restricted to viewing specific information without editing or administrative privileges.
Managing Permissions
-
Permissions decide what actions a role can perform, such as editing content, accessing financial data, or managing users.
-
Administrators can change permissions from the “User Management” section in settings.
-
All changes are tracked to maintain security and transparency.
Understanding roles and permissions helps ensure users have the right access for their responsibilities—nothing more, nothing less. This protects sensitive data and supports smooth collaboration.
