Roles

Roles allow eCrowds power users and/or administrators to customize the access rights and permissions of site users. Administrators can create as many role types as needed to accommodate the variety of users utilizing the system.

For more insight into roles, and how they combine with security policies to establish site access rights/permissions, visit our Permissions Best Practices page.
