In Comparative Agility, you have the flexibility to create custom roles tailored to your specific needs. This feature allows you to define precisely what actions users with a custom role can perform within your organization. Besides custom roles, we also provide our standard roles: member, admin, super admin, and account owner. All the details about these roles can be found in our User management article.
