The Role Management section in the MSPbots app is where admins can create the roles that can access MSPbots assets. Here, you can assign and limit the scope of access for each role and delete or edit existing ones.

In the Add window, provide the following:
Name - Enter a unique role name.
Remarks - Remarks to describe the role.
When you turn on the "Dashboard Only" switch, the Menu Scope will automatically be filled in as "Dashboard Only" and cannot be modified.
Assets related to dashboards will be automatically added in the Asset Scope. You only need to adjust the asset scope based on your actual needs. By assigning different asset scopes to every "Dashboard Only" role, you can precisely control the assets that each user can access based on their needs and permission levels. This ensures that each user can only view and handle dashboard assets related to their work.
Attendance Only - You can create default Attendance Only roles with different asset scopes for the Attendance Only menu scope by toggling the switch.
