How to Create Access Permissions in the System?
To create user access permissions, it is necessary to understand that this will determine what the user will be able to access in the system.
Why is this relevant?
Since there is sensitive information regarding quotations, depending on the user’s role, it is important to filter the information they can access within the platform.
Permissions limit or allow access within the system.
Initially, it is important to note that when registering a user, the system automatically fills in the Role as “Admin”, indicating that the registered user will have administrative permissions and will be allowed to perform all actions within the environment. Therefore, roles must be created before creating users. Permissions are applied immediately after saving.
On the left side menu, click on “Users”.

Then access the “Roles List” section and, on the right side of the screen, click on “+New Role”.

You will be redirected to a new page where you will configure user permissions.
Add the role name and, if desired, to make the process easier, disable (or enable) all permissions to activate (or deactivate) them manually.
