Envoice uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the Company account Administrator the ability to control what users can and cannot do within the Company Account
Each of the users can be assigned to multiple roles based on what access level or tasks they need to perform.
The Permissions section in the User settings page allows you to control the roles users have on this specific Company Account within Envoice. But does not affect permissions the user might have on other company accounts at Envoice if they have one.
Note: The first user to start a new company account is automatically given Administrator User rights. Any users promoted to Administrator privilege can remove the Administrator permission from the initial user if needed.
