Adeptia Connect provides user to have a role-based access. You can create a role to define the access to the activity and user rights may vary depending upon their role defined.

While creating a role you have flexibility to create a role specifically for a company or partner. There is a possibility that one user is managing more than one company/partner, and this user needs different roles and permission.

We can manage this by creating users in GAC with following rights:
