If the Pre-defined Roles does not satisfy accessibility requirements for your Team Members, you can set up more complex roles via Custom Roles and Permissions. This ensures that the right people have access to the right information without impacting their productivity. You can use different set of Permissions to tailor fit the role to a certain job function.

📝Note: This feature is only available on certain plans. Speak to your Customer Success Manager/our Enterprise Sales team to learn more.
