Modified on Fri, 16 Jan at 9:49 AM

When creating a new user on the RedApp, you can assign that user access and permissions relating to certain companies (customers) and/or products. Note that the term "companies" in the RedApp also includes other types of customer organisations, such as schools.


Depending on what you give a user access to, they will have one of the following roles:

  • Partner Admin: can manage all companies (including their own, e.g. creating other partner users) and products assigned to them
  • Partner User: can manage all companies and products assigned to them
  • Company Admin: can manage their own company (e.g. creating other company users) and all products assigned to their company
  • Company User: can manage all products assigned to their company
  • Company ViewOnly: can view all products assigned to their company
  • Product User: can manage one product assigned to their company
  • Product ViewOnly: can view one product assigned to their company


A summary of the various roles can be seen in the table below.
