COMPASS User Permissions

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)
