User Role Permission Types.

Utilize user roles to share data while maintaining privacy and security

By granting each user a role, you can ensure that everyone involved in your Jirav model has the necessary access and control to contribute effectively. Whether it's your finance team, department managers, or other stakeholders, inviting them as users will enable them to actively participate in the analysis and planning process.

For example, you can designate some users as administrators who have full control over the Jirav model, while others may have read-only access or specific permissions for certain areas. This flexibility allows you to tailor the user experience based on individual responsibilities and requirements.

Collaboration

Collaboration allows users with the Admin & Editor roles to share out portions of the Plan with other users as part of the planning process. If a user is given access through Collaboration that conflicts with their assigned user Role, the user will be granted the highest level of access allowed.

For example, if a user has the Viewer: Dashboards & Reports role and an Admin grants them Edit rights to the OpEx table in the Budget, the user will be able to edit data in the budget even though their Role would not normally allow for this.
