Organization Admin Roles & Permissions

Overview 

Every WorkBoard organization can have a number of users that have Administrative access to manage the organization's hierarchy and user management, data categorization and IT, and security policies. 

Admin role scopes allow you to give very specific admin scope based on need. Individuals can have multiple roles for combined levels of access. We recommend that every organization has at least one user with full org level admin access.
