Administrators have access to the “Administration” menu item where they can perform various workflow, document, and user management tasks such as sending invitations and editing project/task templates/properties, document/problem categories, problem templates and problem triggers. Only administrators can update the database version and define global templates and company-wide parameters (such as authentication methods or office names). Administrators can also perform as Managers.
•Manager. Managers organize, assign, review, and monitor execution of various tasks and projects across many users. They can also communicate with customers via email and mail campaigns.
•User. Users primarily work on their assignments and documents. Hence, they cannot complete or begin someone else’s projects or tasks (unless reassigned), and they also can't run mail or email campaigns. Users cannot delete already uploaded documents, prioritize someone else’s projects or tasks, or delete any project.
