A role grants permission to access a set of functionality. The default roles have a hierarchy of access. The higher-level roles can also access the functionality of the roles below them.

The default roles are Administrator, Designer, Business User, and End User. You can also create custom roles. 

Note

The administrator role cannot be deleted, and the default permissions of the administrator and end-user roles can't be changed.

The following lists describe what the default roles can do:
