Role Administration

Overview

In a nutshell, a role is a set of permissions that allows individual users to see and do certain actions in MyPay. Every user should be assigned at least one role in order to be able to log in to MyPay. However, a user can have and often has more than one role.

In this article, we will be focusing on creating, modifying and deleting roles in MyPay.

If you want to assign role(s) to user(s) go to User Administration
