Each user has one or more roles which define which rights and permissions are granted within the system. You can use the predefined roles, or make custom user roles to define your permission structure.
There are three predefined system roles available that can always be used:
- User: A user can use the system for reservations for his personal use.
- Booking Manager: A booking manager has the same permissions as a user, plus can also manage bookings and delete bookings.
The 'insight level' defines how many details are visible, please refer to the general settings article. - Manager: The manager is the global system administrator and can access the whole system including the system settings.
These roles can be manually applied within Settings > Users > Roles or synchronized via Active Directory. For more information view the Azure AD / Active Directory synchronization article.
Custom User Roles
In addition to the default roles you can create custom roles via Settings > Users > Roles.
Per custom user role you are able to define the following permissions:
