A User Role defines the actions a user is permitted to carry out in Projects they are permitted to access. There are predefined User Roles already set up for you within the platform, relating to the most common user profiles and job roles.
With Advanced User Management, you can also create new User Roles and modify existing Roles to allow for a more personalized set of Roles which fit with your business structure.
