{{Template:Role Permissions}}
 
 
 
You control which other [[Role|roles]] a [[User|user]] has permission to access, by associating a [[Role|role]] with other roles.
 
* For example, someone in a sales role may be able to create a customer (and associate the customer [[Role|role]]), but not another sales person.
 
* In this instance, if you wished for people in the Employee [[Role|role]] to give other contacts the employee [[Role|role]]; you would click the check box next to the Employee role.
 
* Typically, System Administrators are given rights to set all roles.

==Adding People to a Role==
 
 
 
There are two ways to add people to a [[Role|role]].
 
 
 
* Individually, by finding them in the [[Organisation Hierarchy|organisation hierarchy]] or people search window, and then setting the [[Role|role]] by using the Settings, '''Roles & Access''' [[Menu|menu]].
 
* In bulk, by finding people in the [[Role|role]] screen and assigning multiple people at the same time to the role by clicking the '''Add Users''' tab.
