A role is a set of access rights to specific modules or other system entities.

Some users are assigned only one role, while others are assigned multiple roles in accordance with different sets of employee responsibilities. For more information about roles, see: About role-based access.

Make sure you create an administrative role with full access to the system before you start managing user access within your company. This way, you ensure a smooth process for everyone and minimise the risk of accidentally locking users out of the system.
