Organization Roles

Organization roles are the permissions that define your access to organization information, including members, groups, and files, and how you interact with that information. When accepted into an organization, you are assigned a role regardless of your system role. For example, a Local Admin may be limited to a RecipientBase User role and a Regular UserVolunteer may be granted an Administrator role.

In this way, your organization role, in conjunction with your organization membership, file and folder access, and system role, determine your solution permissions. To better understand your permissions within an organization, on the Membership tab of your account profile, locate your organization roles.

The default organization roles are defined below. Your organization may have renamed the roles. In that case, look for the functions you can perform to identify your role.

Organization Roles and User Roles

Organization roles are mapped to the user roles created for domains and facilities. This mapping depends on the type of organization: domain organization, facility organization, or other organization. For example, if you are given the Administrator organization role in a facility organization, then you also gain the Facility Administrator user role for the corresponding facility. If an account does not have any organization roles with a corresponding user role, it cannot log in.

The following table shows each available organization role, their permissions, and the user roles they map to.
