Emburse Analytics User Types and Roles

User access to the various features of Emburse Analytics depends on role and user type, as well as your organization's subscription level. This article explains roles and user types, as well as how to assign roles, user types, and permissions.

See User Management Admin Screen to learn how to manage licenses and user types and view the access capabilities of each user type by subscription level.
