Roles and Permissions Management

Roles and Permissions Management

Assign roles to control what users can access and manage within Lessen Pro.

Overview

Roles and permissions determine what each user can view, create, edit, or manage in the system. When adding or editing an employee, you can select a preset role or create a custom configuration based on their responsibilities.

To configure roles:

  1. Navigate to Employee Management
  2. Select an employee or create a new user
  3. Under Role & Permissions, choose a preset role or select Custom
