There are two types of roles in Ocerra: Static roles and Dynamic roles.
Static roles are pre-defined system roles, every user requires to have at least one role. A role is given when a new user is invited to Ocerra. A user can have multiple roles.
There are five pre-defined/static roles in Ocerra:
- Employee (usually given to approvers)
- Accountant (usually given to a system champion)
- Clerk (usually given to assist a champion)
- Analyst (deprecated role, no need to use)
- Supervisor (usually this role is given to someone who oversees all the documents and settings).
- The Supervisor role does not grant permission to submit or approve invoices. If a supervisor is also an approver and/or an accountant, they will need to be assigned these roles as well.
