Role Descriptions
Admin User
The Admin User holds the highest level of access and is automatically created during account registration through the Setup Wizard. Additional Admin users can be added via the Team & Users page in the Administration Console.
Key Features:

- Complete payment and billing management
- Can use the same credentials across multiple Site App Pro accounts

Key Features:

The External Verifier role provides auditors and external compliance reviewers with secure, read-only access to your reports and documentation.
Key Features:

Choosing the Right Role
When assigning user roles, consider:
- Level of access needed – Does the user need web console or mobile-only access?
- Editing permissions – Should they be able to modify system settings and user accounts?
- Scope of work – Are they working on a single site or managing multiple locations?
- Billing responsibility – Do they need access to payment and subscription information?
- Compliance requirements – Is their role related to auditing or verification?
