The Role Permissions module enables administrators to configure role-based access control (RBAC) across the platform. Roles define what users can view, create, modify, or delete, ensuring that access is properly restricted according to organizational responsibilities and compliance standards.
Overview : #
- Predefined Roles: The platform includes built-in roles to cover common use cases.
- Custom Permissions: Each role can be configured with granular permissions.
- Reset & Save: Roles can be restored to default or customized as needed.

- Custom Roles: Extend or adjust built-in roles if your organization requires finer control.
