Managing Roles

Managing Roles

Roles

Every organization follows a typical hierarchical arrangement of the line of authority where employees are categorized based on their roles. Normally, every organization hierarchy consists of CEO, Vice President, COO, Manager, Sales rep and this can be setup in your Bigin account. This structure determines how the power, responsibilities are assigned and the flow of information from one level to another. Only users in the higher level of hierarchy can access the records of the users in the lower level. 

                      
The roles page displays all the available roles, number of users under each role, and whether the data is visible to the peers or not.

Roles can be created based on your Organization's structure. By default, CEO and Manager roles are made available.
