User Roles
The IEX Portal utilizes a hierarchical role system to ensure users have the appropriate level of access to features, data, and management tools. This guide outlines the definitions of each role and breaks down the specific permissions associated with sending, inventory, and account management.
Role Definitions
Every user in the system is assigned a role that dictates their capabilities. The hierarchy is defined as follows:
-
Organization Admin: Can manage all aspects related to their specific organization, including viewing reports and managing users across the entire organization.
-
Department Admin: Can manage aspects related to their specific department only.
-
User: The standard role. Users are associated with an organization but have limited management capabilities.
