A User is an individual who has access to the system. Users have unique identifiers such as email addresses and can belong to various user groups. Depending on their function or access level within the application, different roles can be granted to the users.
A Company represents an organization that uses an application. It may consist of multiple users and groups, allowing for structured management of user access and data visibility within the boundaries of that organization.
A Role is a set of permissions that determine what actions a user can perform within the application. Roles are often assigned based on job functions (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer).
A Subscriber is an entity, like a company or individual, that uses services from Visma. An Administrator within the Subscriber can manage who has access by assigning roles and granting access to services for users in their organization.
A User Group is a collection of users grouped together for simplifying access management. Assigning permissions to a group instead of individual users ensures consistent access for all members of the group and simplifies administration.
A Support User is a Partner or Visma employee who helps Subscribers with service issues. They have special access to troubleshoot and assist users without directly changing the Subscriber’s settings or data.
A Company Group is a collection of companies that might be managed collectively for shared access policies or centralized administration. This grouping helps in managing access and permissions efficiently across multiple organizations.
A Client Company is a business entity associated with a Subscriber, holding its own Visma subscription. While it operates independently, it can also be managed by an Accounting Office Administrator if there’s an agreement in place. This setup allows for both autonomy and external management support for the Client Company’s subscription and services.
A Role Group is a collection of roles that can be assigned collectively. This is useful when multiple roles with a shared purpose or level of access need to be assigned together, streamlining the assignment process for users or groups (e.g. a Role group named Employee can include Expense Regular User, Mobile Payslip User and Web Payslip User).
