User Roles
Core ConceptsDefinition
User roles are predefined sets of permissions and access rights that determine what actions a user can perform within an ERP system.
Detailed Description
User roles in an ERP system define the access permissions and operational capabilities for different users within the software. These roles ensure that users interact with the system in a manner that aligns with their responsibilities while maintaining system security by restricting access to sensitive information and actions. A user role typically includes a combination of access rights to specific modules, data, and functions. By assigning roles based on job responsibilities, organizations can efficiently manage user interactions with the ERP system and enforce security protocols.
