By setting a default user role in your [[Personal Settings|personal settings]], the system will assume that you are adding someone using a specific role when you add a new person to the system.
[[User Role|User roles]] organize (group) users and, in conjunction with these permissions and other logic, control what people can see and do in their [[SmartSimple]] [[instance]]. User Roles group similar people together and are additive; this means that a user may possess multiple roles, so roles need not be mutually exclusive. Typically, we will group users on what they will be doing within [[SmartSimple]] - for example, '''Reviewers, ''''''Grant Grant Approvers '''- and by their department - for example, '''Human Resources '''or '''Accounting. '''A [[User|user]]'s [[User Role|role]] is there fundamental to their '''Role Base Access Control (RBAC), '''which comprises what we can apply the umbrella term of '''Role-Based Security.'''
==Advantages of Role-Based Security==
The '''Roles and Security Settings '''part of the SmartSimple system will allow you to configure the '''Role-Based Security '''scheme to your personal needs.
===Combining Organization and Role-Based Security===
You are also able to combine [[Organization hierarchy#Organization Based Security|organization-based security]] with role-based security; both work through the same process of permissioning certain roles and/or organizations within the system to have differing levels of accessibility, functionality, and visibility of features.
For example, if you wish to share a [[:Category:Calendars|calendar]] with everyone in a '''Marketing Department, '''you could share that calendar with both a specific organization '''and '''anyone with a '''Sales '''role. You would therefore use organization-based security to permission anyone in that marketing department with access, but you would use role-based security to permission individual users with the '''Sales '''role.
