Overview
The user management system allows you to control access and permissions for your team members across projects. This guide explains how to manage users and understand different roles in the system.
User Roles
Assign appropriate user roles based on their required access levels (see full list below)
- Roles help define what access a user has to the system.
- Users can have multiple roles in a project
- When multiple roles are assigned, the user gets all permissions from all roles
