Orangescrum account previously had only 4 roles – Owner, Admin, User and Client with some restricted access. Many of our users did not want their teams to have access to very many actions and felt it did more harm than good e.g. unintentional task edits, close a task or change dates. These changes can cause chaos and affect the project plan & deadlines. User Role Management allows for Roles Based Access (RBAC) & hence greater control with minimal distractions! Here are some major benefits of User Role Management feature; Define clear responsibilities for the team members Role Based Access Control Maintains privacy from higher to lower hierarchy High flexibility in terms of actions and permissions across projects Easily share and grant access on a Need to Know Basis Hassle free Customer engagement You can understand User Role Management better with our step by step guide. 2.
