About Security Roles

 

Security roles control a user's access to data through a set of access levels and permissions. The combination of access levels and permissions that are included in a specific security role sets limits on the user's view of data and on the user's interactions with that data.

 

Dataverse provide a default set of security roles. For example, the "System Administrator" security role is an out-of-the-box Dataverse security role. 

 

TekStack has many security roles custom to TekStack that control user access across the application. It's important to note that the Dataverse system administrator security role has more privileges than any TekStack security role meaning that users with the Dataverse system administrator security role will have full access to TekStack regardless of what other roles they are assigned. 

 

Security roles can be assigned by users who have the Dataverse system administrator security role.
