Many organizations would want to have their business data to be private, restricting the access to all of their employees. A member of your sales team would not want access to the financial apps. In that case, having employee privilege and role based authentication will help in efficient managing of data across your business.
With this role based access control, you can allow users/employees to access your business contacts based on the user privileges given to them.
What are Security Roles & Privileges?
In Apptivo, you can provide different levels of access for each user through the use of security roles & privileges. A privilege is nothing, but the access to perform a certain action, such as creating a new contact, privilege to access settings etc. A security role provides access to a group of privileges at once time (role based security ).
You can generate your own custom security roles using the “Settings” area of the Employees App. You cannot create your own security roles in the “Manage Employees” area of the G Suite, you must be logged into the standard Apptivo website to perform this.
