Users & Roles

Invite your team and control exactly what each person can see and do.

Inviting people

You add users by email. Each invitation carries a role and a department, and the new user sets their own password from the invite link — you never handle their credentials.

1

Send an invite

Enter the person's email, choose their role and department, and send. They receive a secure invite link.

2

They set a password

The user opens the link, sets their own password, and configures two-factor authentication if it is enforced.

3

Manage over time

Resend or revoke pending invitations, deactivate users who leave, or reset a user's two-factor authentication if they lose their device.

Bulk onboarding
Rolling out to a whole team? Use bulk-invite or import users from a CSV to add many people at once, then fine-tune roles and departments individually.

How access is controlled

Access depends on role AND department. Most users see only their own department's records. The Risk & Compliance role sees everything across the organisation, so reserve it for the people who genuinely need an org-wide view.

Roles

RoleWhat they can do
AdministratorFull access, including settings, users and billing.
Risk & ComplianceAll registers, approves escalations, manages departments.
SLT / MDReads the org register and their own department; signs off reviews.
Risk ChampionCreates and manages risks within their department.
AuditorRead-only across all modules.
ViewerRead-only within their own department.

Segregation of duties (SoD)

The role model is designed so the same person can't approve their own work or wave through high-risk changes. Approval flows always separate the requester from the approver:

  • Risk escalations — a risk owner requests roll-up to the organisation register; only Risk & Compliance can approve it.
  • Independent review — the Auditor role is read-only everywhere, so audit work stays independent of the records being audited.
  • Scoped administration — department scoping and per-entity roles keep changes reviewable by someone other than the person who made them, including in multi-entity groups.
Why it matters
Auditors look for evidence that no single person can create, approve and sign off the same change. Assigning roles along these lines gives you that separation by default.

Groups

You can also organise people into groups to reflect teams or committees. Groups make it easier to keep related users together and manage them consistently.

Off-boarding
When someone leaves, deactivate their account promptly to revoke access while preserving their historical records for audit purposes.

Next steps: configure organisation-wide options in Organisation Settings, tighten sign-in with Security & 2FA, and periodically confirm access is correct with Access Reviews.
