  6. Assign Roles (for Service Providers):

    • If the contact represents a service provider or external contractor, navigate to the Role Assignments section.

    • Click Add and assign the External Contractor role.

    • Role assignments allow the contact to participate in activities such as:

      • Work orders

      • Tasks

      • Requests

    • When assigning a role, specify whether the contact should have access to:

      • All Assets, or

  7. Organization-Based Role Assignments

    • Keep in mind that a contact may also inherit roles and permissions through their associated organization.

    • These inherited permissions are managed separately from individual role assignments.

      • Work Orders

      • Assets

      • Projects

      • Contracts

      • Requests

      • Other business-related records

    • This ensures that contacts can be easily selected and assigned wherever needed.
