Security & Permissions
Fully configurable role-based access control
Axel Henry ships with a granular, database-backed permission catalogue spanning every module. Administrators can build entirely custom roles — from a self-only Employee role to a company-wide System Administrator — by combining permissions with a visibility scope (self, team, business unit or company).
