Users are the employees of your organization who have active accounts in LeadSquared (like Sales Representatives, Sales Managers, etc.). You can create users, assign them permissions, set user hierarchy based on your organization’s departmental structure, and more. This article lists the various features users can access to streamline their management process.
2. User Roles
You can control access to different features and data by assigning roles to users. Usually, one of these four roles can be assigned to a user – Admin User, Marketing User, Sales Manager, and Sales User. If required, we also support a Super Administrator user role that can control permissions given to Admin users. To know more about user roles, refer to User Roles and Access Rights.
3. User Fields
When you create users, there are a number of system fields available (such as first name, last name, etc.) to store their information. You can also create custom user fields (like their work anniversaries, gender, marital status, etc.). You can choose the data types you want the fields to accept and customize them according to your preferences. To know more, refer to Manage User Custom Fields.
