User permissions

All users have specific permissions that can be defined when they are invited into a company and can be updated later. Only users with the Administrate users permission can grant or revoke permissions for other users. Only permissions that the user has can be granted to other users. It is not possible to revoke your own permissions.

Hierarchical structure of the permissions

Permissions are hierarchical and follow a tree structure. When a user is granted a parent privilege, the child privilege is automatically granted. Conversely, a child privilege can be granted without granting the parent privilege.
