Roles and Permissions
Roles and permissions are very flexible and powerful to manage access to features. Normally all users in system have Member or Visitor roles, until they are assigned to Administrator roles, or custom roles with configured permissions.
TIP
Roles and permissions are for feature management such as adding new members, resources or turning on features. If you want to limit access to resources, such as desks or meeting rooms, use Desk Groups Settings and *Meeting Room Settings.
System Roles
By default the system creates some System roles at Space and Location levels. Each role has a defined set of permissions. It is convenient to add members to these roles for management.
You may also create custom roles with more granular and personalized permissions. They're called Custom Roles.
