Administration

Understand roles

A role decides which parts of the portal someone can use. Assign the smallest role that lets a person do their job.

Always work in your own location. Choose it from the selector at the top left of the portal before you start. Each location manages its own records, so nothing should be added under Global.

The Roles tab
