A User is a record about a person in accessplanit. A User can be a Delegate, Trainer, Administrator, Booker, Manager, and can also be more than one of these things. A User record is a way of storing key information about a person and defining permission levels relevant to their role.

Here is a video giving you a quick overview of Users on the accessplanit platform:

Job Roles: Here, you can give a user a Job Role from a list of Job Roles you have already created within the Job Roles area.

Employment: This stores the User's employment record. You should always add a new employment record when you end an older one, to ensure that User can still log into the platform.
