Introduction
Roles define the user’s access to the system and what the user is allowed to see. The system distinguishes between several business, business administration and system roles.
The default system roles include the administrator, rulesadministrator, resources-manager, workflow-designer, log-viewer, starter, member, dashboard-admin, dashboard-manager and dashboard-user.
Creating new roles
The administrator can create additional system and business roles. Business roles can be assigned to users within a group and are used solely for informative purposes within custom workflows.
