User access to Active Community modules and components is determined by the roles that are assigned to a user’s contact profile.
Each role is made up of a group of permissions. Permissions determine which modules users can access, the components they can use, and the actions they can perform.
For example, a contact who has a role with limited permissions might only be able to view a company profile. A contact who has a role with additional permissions might be able to edit a company profile, add an activity to a project, and view a custom field.
