Roles
Roles define the level of access employees have to MaxProtocol platform features. Each employee is assigned one role, which determines which sections and actions are available to them.
Role List
The page displays a table of system roles:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control over the organization, including role management for all employees |
| Admin | Full platform management and access rights, including billing |
| Billing | Payment information setup, license management, and payment control |
| User | Access to the client and other features when corresponding permissions are granted |
The Members column shows the number of employees with that role.
