In this section, you can set up different roles for your employees. Think of these roles as special tags that show what each person can do in the company's system. For instance, access to payroll data is granted only to the finance team so they can handle the organization's payroll. Meanwhile, an asset manager has access to the asset section only, allowing them to take care of the company's assets. This way, everyone has what they need to do their job effectively.
You can create new labels (roles) for your employees here and decide what each label allows. This gives you control over who can access specific functions in your company's system, like giving the right keys to the right people for the right doors and tasks.
