Customising each role

Different roles affect how Checkbox account holders can access and manage Apps, Project Teams and other User accounts. A role is defined by the combination of permissions assigned to it.

Note that there are two types of permissions:

1. An account holder’s role across the platform.
2. An account holder’s role inside of a Project Team.

This article addresses the first type. The second type is covered in our Project Teams article.
