Roles and permissions
DoiT Platform supports role-based access control (RBAC), which allows you to combine roles and permissions to control a user's access to DoiT Platform's features.
- Users Manager
Prior to Roles, DoiT Platform users were manually assigned permissions. These legacy permissions are forward-compatible, which means you will not lose access to any functionalities you previously had access to.
Pre-built roles
The DoiT Platform provides several pre-built roles. Each role grants one or more privileges that together, allow performing a common business function. For example, one role allows managing user accounts, another role manages financial aspects, another role manages IT functions, and so on.
