Roles

Roles in Datameer X are assigned to users to specify which permissions the user/group is allowed. Every user in Datameer X must have a role.

Datameer X allows administrators to add custom roles to give specific permissions to users and groups.

The set up and configuration of user roles can be found under the Admin tab and then selecting Roles.
