      Role

      A role determines the permissions that a staff member has within the ITarian interface.

      • ITarian has three built-in roles - 'Admin', 'Account Admin' and 'Technician'. Technician is a good starting role for staff.
      • You cannot edit the built in roles, but you can clone them and edit the clone.
      • The person that signed up for the account is assigned 'Account Admin'. This role has all available privileges.
      • Account admins can add staff and assign them any role except 'Account Admin'.

      See 'Manage Roles' for more on default roles and creating new roles.
