Circula users can be attributed one or multiple user roles. Roles are managed by Admin users in the User Management section of the web app, as explained in this article. To each role corresponds specific access and usage rights applied to the user.
Circula differentiates between four user roles:
Submitter
Supervisor
Accountant
Administrator
📝 Note: The user who created the company's account is automatically assigned all user roles and therefore has access to all areas of the Circula web app.
