[Vtigercrm-developers] About role / profile / groups

[Asha]

Hi Pere,

You need to create profile, which clearly controls what modules and fields
can a user with this particular profile view/edit or delete.

You can have multiple profiles for a user, through multiple roles.

So you basically create profiles for least permissions required to highest
permissions, upward. You can split up one particular profile into multiple
profiles, so that specific smaller profiles can be reused across multiple
roles.

Hope this will help you to get started with profile and role creation.
