Role Management

With Appcircle's Advanced Role Management structure, you can assign specific roles to organization members for each module, allowing you to manage and restrict their permissions effectively. Appcircle provides various role types for each module, with a brief description of each role provided in the table below. For more detailed information on role management for each module, please refer to the respective module titles.

• Owner: The user is authorized for unlimited access to all modules.
• Manager: The user becomes the administrator of the relevant module with no restrictions.
• Operator: The user manages the operations of the relevant module, with certain restrictions in place.
• Ext. Operator: The user has very limited authorization in the relevant module, typically intended for third-party employees from outside the company.
• Viewer: The user only has view authorization in the relevant module and cannot take any action.

Role Types

Some role types are not used in certain modules because they are redundant or unnecessary, as they serve the same function as another role. Therefore, roles may vary for each module.
