Written by Princess Luzadas

Felix provides three out-of-the-box global security groups available to every organisation using Felix. These roles can't be edited, and provide a base permissions structure.


The tables below provide an overview of default user permissions, divided into the different modules and the functions that can be performed using the platform. Please note that your permissions are subject to custom configurations and could therefore differ to the below.
