Default User Role
New user accounts will be automatically assigned the Tier 8 - General User role. Administrators are responsible for updating the user account with the appropriate geographic permissions, organizations, and user roles after the account is initially saved.
Using Tier Roles
Common permissions are rolled up into Tier Roles for different types of users. Only one Tier Role should be assigned to a user account for most instances, and it is not necessary to add other roles except in special circumstances. Lower-ranked Tier Roles, such as 3 - State Admin and 5 - Campaigns, have fewer restrictions than higher-ranked Tiers.
Using Other Roles
Specialty Roles can be assigned for specific features and require other Roles to allow the user to fully access site features.
