Admin And Manager
User and Role Management
Introduction
As roles are useful for defining the scope of work and activities, Nimvio provides you with two levels of users and roles management – organization-level and project-level. Each level has its own default roles. You can learn more about them in Nimvio Default Roles.
Even though the two levels are different, the organization level becomes a prerequisite for managing the project-level one. You must have an administrator role to be able to manage those users and roles. The following guides allow you to manage both levels.
