What are user roles?
User roles are predefined collections of settings that control what users can see and do within the tool.
What roles exist in the tool?
In the tool, there are three different user roles: Admin, Contributor, and Viewer.
This article covers what each user is permitted and not permitted to see and do within the app.
💡 In general, if you do not see a certain page in the app that another user can see, in most cases, this is because you have different roles.
