Add Roles and Permissions

In the Roles types screen you can define permissions to various parts of the system. In this article you will learn how to add new roles and permissions.

🌱 All users having the same role (defined in the User accounts screen) will have the same permissions. If a role is changed, the updated permissions will apply to all users having the role. IrisBG comes with predefined roles that can be modified if necessary.
