Editing permission for the roles

To edit the permissions for custom roles, click on the "Edit" option in the "Permission" section of the page.

Owner Admins have the ability to select permissions for every feature in the system, customizing access to specific functionalities.

There are 4 types of permission available: View, Add, Edit, and Remove. Based on each feature, permissions are available to be enabled/disabled.

Users must have VIEW access enabled for each feature in order to access that specific functionality.

There are several features which need a combination of two permissions:
In order for the Remove permission to be effective in the Loads and Manage Types sections, the Edit permission must also be selected.
In the Settlements and Contacts sections, the Add permission will only work if the Edit permission is selected.

Assign the custom roles to web users

Owner admins can assign the newly created custom roles by clicking on Settings>Users>Web users>select the desired web user>assign the roles under User Roles >Save
