Manage staff permissions in ROLLER by assigning them specific roles, allowing you to control their access and actions within ROLLER.
There are two types of roles available: system roles, which have fixed permissions and are available for all plans, and custom roles, which have modifiable permissions and are available for the Pro plan and higher.
The permission Can access staff settings is required to manage staff permissions & roles. The administrator system role has this permission enabled by default.
