Roles and permissions

Only users with an Administrator access level can assign permissions to other users. At least one Administrator must exist in your IRIS Elements tenant.

You can control what your users can access in your IRIS Elements tenant — from a basic level of access to full administrative control. Five levels of access, or roles, are available:

  • Viewer — Read-only access
  • Contributor
  • Editor
  • Owner — Typically has access to all aspects of the product but is unable to delete assets
  • Administrator — Full access to all aspects of the product

The Platform and Client Management sections contain core functionality of IRIS Elements, followed by each licensed product.

Each IRIS Elements product has its own role level structure, and role terminology may vary.

Platform permissions

Only one role is available for Platform — Manager. If selected for the user, they can:

  • Activate users
  • Deactivate users
  • Edit user permissions
  • Invite users
  • Link with IAS (IRIS Accountancy Suite)
