Managing User Roles

1. From the user edit screen, you can change the role of an existing user. Changing the user’s role changes the access level on all AppCatalyst services.
2. The default role options are Org.Admin and Org.Staff.
   

   Role Name	Description
   Org.Admin	This role is for organizational administrators. The organization administrator can invite users and manage user settings in the Auth Portal. User’s with this role typically have full access to the organization’s records.
   Org.Staff	This role is for staff users. Staff users typically have limited access on all services. Staff users are typically limited to the most commonly used features.

3. The Org.Admin role typically has all of the permissions that the Org.Staff role has and more. It is okay for an Org.Admin to also have the Org.Staff role although this is not required.

An Org.Admin can make changes to any user in the organization including other Org.Admins
