Default Roles and Permissions

  1. Administrators: are the primary people who administrate the company's program. All Permissions for this Role are turned on. 
  2. Managers: are program participants who are selected by the Administrator to help with the company's day-to-day recognition efforts. They have access to various program management features by default. 
  3. Employees: are program participants added to the platform by the program Administrator or Manager. Employees have limited access, but this can be modified by the Administrator.
