As an administrator, you can grant different permissions to different users. This is done by assigning user roles. Each organization has non-editable default user roles such as "Administrator" and "User". You can, however, also create new user roles that grant individual permissions.
A user can have multiple user roles. For each individual permission, the strongest permission rule of all existing roles always applies.
This is particularly helpful if, as an administrator, you want to add a single permission to users. All you need to do is create a new role that has only the new permission and add this role to the desired users.
