Changes

A user is a [[contact]] that can log in and access a [[SmartSimple]] [[instance]]. If you use the [[Enabling User Access|enable login]]] feature when adding contacts, they will be able to log into the system and you can consider them "users"; otherwise, you can consider them simply as "contacts."  * Because [[Organization Terminology]] will vary between instances, remember that your specific instance may use different nomenclature for users/contacts. The related functions such as how to activate or add users in every instance will remain the same.

A user can access and manipulate information only to the extent permitted through their membership of specific [[User Role|roles]], combined with those roles' [[Role Based Security ability]] to manage system-wide [[Manager Permission|permissions]].

* Example: A user who is a [[Global User Administrator|'''System Administrator''']] will have increased control and visibility to the system than a user whose role is simply '''Employee.''' * Note: Although a user can be attributed with multiple roles, the system will always default to the '''minimum''' level of access.
