Roles and permissions
Encamp offers a user roles and permissions system that allows organizations to tailor access levels for their users within the platform. By assigning specific roles to users, organizations can ensure that employees have access only to the information and functionality necessary for their tasks, preventing unauthorized access or accidental modifications.
Available User Roles
The following roles are available for all organizations:
Super Admin: The highest level user role. Each organization should have only a few users assigned to this role.
Encamp All Facilities User: Intended for individuals overseeing an environmental program for the entire organization.
Encamp Facility User: Intended for individuals overseeing several facilities.
Encamp EHS Field User: Intended for individuals located at a single facility.
Note: Roles and permissions are only applicable to users with Encamp accounts, not all contacts.

Super Admin Tasks
Super Admins have exclusive privileges to create user accounts, assign roles, and manage facility access for their organization's members. Some key tasks include:
Creating Users: Super Admins can create user accounts for both new and existing contacts.
Changing User Roles: Super Admins can change the role of existing users, except for other Super Admins.
Granting and Revoking Facility Access: Super Admins can grant or revoke access to specific facilities for Facility Users and EHS Field Users.
