What does each permission allow you to do?

Roles & Permissions define what an account administrator may access in the system. Site administrators can edit roles and permissions for their account administrators. Typically Roles contain combinations of permission sets for each dashboard.

You can utilize system default Roles, or create your own Roles for your administrators. Before you begin building custom Roles, make sure you know what each permission means in the software. Below you will find more information about each permission available.
