User rights to enable access to software features | What user access permissions should be given to staff?

VIA allows assigning different user roles with customised user access rights. Please add users carefully!
Carefully consider which features each user needs access to. Lock down sensitive operations.
The table below shows at a glance which user roles can access each software feature per plugin.
To enable a feature, assign a user role with access rights or get a VIA edition subscription that contains it.
Only provide user roles and access rights to features for those really needing it like the diary/calendar or contacts and more. You should periodically audit your users permissions and access to software features of the edition you are signed up to on subscription.
Tightly control external user access rights; make sure you periodically review third-party user access and their rights by way of roles assigned to them.

To find out which VIA software editions have which features, please see this relative page:-

See below the user access rights table showing the various VIA Software Plugin names in the 1st column, the features for each plugin in the second column, followed by a column for each individual user type/role in the software that you can assign to your users in the VIA Software for the plugin or features of a plugin.
