Roles Management

There are different levels of Roles within the Organization Manager. The Organization Roles are sets of permissions set by the Organization Owner when creating or editing users. Account Roles are sets of permissions that define the actions a user may perform within an account. Account Roles are set when assigning users to accounts.
