Permission groups allow you to control what users can see and do in AroFlo. There are three pre-built permission groups that you can assign to users. Alternatively, you can also use these as templates to quickly create new, custom permission groups based on staff roles and responsibilities.
The following guide is designed to help you decide which permission groups you might like to start with. Once you have seen what they're capable of by clicking "See more..." below each one, scroll down to the following section to see some common permission-based roles in a business explained using responsibilities to help you make a final decision about your own users.
