Edit or Delete a Role

Overview

Roles control the data that users can create, edit, delete, view, or manage in Resolver. Administrators can edit or delete roles from Resolver. 

Note:
If a user is in multiple roles and the permissions are in conflict, the role with the higher level of permissions will take precedence.


User Account Requirements

The user account used to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to access the Data Access section.
