The level of access is determined by the Role assigned to their Profile. {% hint style="info" %} Each of the roles land on a hierarchy. If a higher Role is provided, a lower Role is not necessary to add to the Profile. If a lower Role is provided, a higher Role will grant access to more of the Dashboard. {% endhint %} #### Assigning a Role Roles are given to a Customer Account from the Customer page of the Dashboard.
