Introduction to Roles

By default, there are four roles to choose from:

  1. Employee
  2. Employee editor
  3. Group manager
  4. Administrator
 
Note: 
We encourage you to consult with us before making any changes to existing roles, as you may inadvertently break things, including locking yourself out of your own account.
 
For your convenience, we have a table of the default settings, which you can find at the bottom of the page.
