Communal offers a set of roles that control what levels of access a user has to the administrative side of the application.
Note: All of the following roles will give the user access to the Manager area of your Communal platform. The user will then be restricted by what pages they can see and access once in the Manager area.
The roles are intended to be all encompassing for what is needed from a programs director, volunteer manager, etc. At time you may need to combine roles to align with organizational needs. You can assign any number of roles to a user account.
