Roles

Image Added


Roles: By default, when new users are created, the role of Staff is assigned. If the user is a Broker (as setup on the Broker tab), then the role of Broker will also be assigned.

Other roles can be added such as Accountant, Agent, Bank, Employer, etc.

New roles can be added by selecting the New button (Image Added) in the toolbar.

Roles are used throughout TFS to determine when and where an entity will be available for selection. Thus, a user with the Role of Staff cannot be selected as the Broker for a Client or Application as the Role of Broker is required for this. An entity with the Role of Accountant enables it to be selected as the Accountant for a Client or Application. Any entity in TFS can be assigned multiple roles as required.
