Users are linked to Roles which define the functionality to which users have access. The roles have different pre-defined levels, where level 1 is the highest level and Sales is the lowest level.

Within an Organisation there is one Super User. This user has access to everything and can setup, maintain and unlock all levels of users.

Each user can have access to different companies within your environment and may also have a default company assigned upon logging, the superuser will grant authority for the user to have access to all companies or a selection of companies.
