Define user roles

User roles define which applications a user can access and what user rights they have within applications. Roles are grouped by department. For example, the "Back office" department group might include the "Accountant", "Back office analyst", and "Fund operations roles", with each role providing access to certain apps and actions within those apps.

You can add, edit, delete, and group user roles into departments in the Role management view of the Admin Console. You can filter the list of roles by department, role name, and application with the fields at the top of the view.
