There are two types of roles and permissions in AuditDashboard:
- Domain or System Roles and Permissions and;
- Engagement Roles and Permissions.
This article will address domain (i.e., Global) roles and permissions for professionals. To learn about Domain roles and permissions for client users please refer to this article.
Roles
There are 10 different professional roles, split into 3 sections: (1) General, Client Manager, Engagement Admin, Engagement Manager, Administrator, (2) My Files, File Manager, File Admin, (3) Signature Admin, and My Signatures. Users can have any combination of these roles selected.
It's important to select only one role from the File Management category (My Files, File Manager, or File Admin) and one from the Signature category (Signature Admin or My Signatures). If access to either Files or Signatures is not required, do not assign any role from that category.
