Roles and Permissions
OPS-COM gives System Owners and Administrators the ability to setup roles that will restrict access to information and features in OPS-COM. Roles are a group of permissions that are bundled and assigned to a set of users. For example, you may wish to create a role for Patrol Officer. You will set the permissions for this role and assign users the role of Patrol Officer when you would like to grant them permissions that match that job. Users can be assigned multiple roles.

Important
Remember, all staff should have their own user profile and have Roles assigned to them based on their job description. ย Usernames and Password information should never be shared amongst staff members doing the same job.
It is important to note that Admin Users can not be deleted as they are/may be associated with past transactions. However, they can and should be beย made inactive in the case where someone leaves an organization.
