Overview

Roles groups define the specific screen permissions that are applicable for specific roles or activities (sales, finance, admins, etc.). One or more role groups are configured on roles to grant the role the permissions it requires (e.g. a role might require both sales and finance role group permissions to perform the role's function).

In the event role groups assigned to a role have opposing settings (one role group grants read rights to a screen and another does not grant read rights to the screen) the role group that enables the permission will take precedence.

Prerequisites

Role groups can be setup as needed, there are no prerequisite configuration steps.
