Roles define what users can do within the platform. DealCentre AI uses two system-defined roles to control administrative permissions. Each role has a specific scope and responsibility to maintain control and accountability.

Entity Administrator

Scope:

Across all entity administrators, groups, and group administrators within the organization.

Responsibility:

Entity admins can perform organization-wide setup and administration, ensuring groups, roles, and deals are structured correctly.

  • Role management - Add and remove entity administrators, add and remove group administrators.
  • Group management - Create groups, delete groups, add users to groups, and move users between groups.
  • Deal and workflow management - Create deals, manage deal stages, and manage contacts.

Group Administrator

Scope:

Within one group

Responsibility:

Group admins manage users and deal settings within their assigned group to support deal activities.

  • Role management - Add and remove group administrators.
  • Group management - Add users to groups and remove users.
  • Deal and workflow management - Create deals, add group members to a deal, manage deal stages assigned to their group, and manage contacts assigned to their group.

Note: A user can have both Entity Administrator and Group Administrator roles.
