What are the COMPASS user types?
There are three types of user roles in the COMPASS application. These roles are defined to reflect the three main categories of users in a risk management system. There are small differences between the permissions of each role between a general contractor's COMPASS application and a subcontractor's COMPASS application. The permissions for these roles are described in the table below.
Role | Description (General Contractor) | Description (Sub Contractor) |

How do I change a user's permissions?
To change a user's permissions, the role type must be changed since the permissions are specific to each role.
Any Admin user within a company can change another user's role within the same company, including any other Admin user's role. Follow the steps below to change a user's role:
