User Permissions 

Centage comes with two default user Groups:

• Administrator.
• User.

When your company starts using Centage, the Centage Team helps the Administrator set up their account. The Centage Team:

• Uploads your company’s data to the Modeler and creates Base Structures and Dimensions for you.
• Can help the Centage Administrator create new users and user Groups.
• Can help the Centage Administrator set up Security.
• Trains the Administrator and other users.

After the initial setup, the Administrator can create new user Groups with various user roles.

One user can belong to multiple Groups. Each user has the highest level of permissions for all the Groups they belong to.
