User Roles

User roles are the most granular level of access control on the platform, determine what exactly individual users can view and do after they log in - for example, whether they can bring data onto the platform, or if they are limited to data consumption.

A single user may have multiple personas and roles, meaning that an Organization Administrator may also function as a Technical. Given this, when setting user roles, it is useful to consider what privileges teams and individuals will need to fulfil their job function and organization requirements.
