Roles are company defined titles given to all RedTeam users. The function of Roles is to limit or open access to specific features in RedTeam, such as the ability to uncommit, manage configurations, add/edit/delete certain entities, view some tabs and features, etc. Roles are also very important when configuring your Approvals Workflow--a matrix for approving Invoices. Users may have more than one Role. These can be managed by editing a user profile.
1. Create a New Role
Roles are company defined titles given to all RedTeam users.
