Difference Between System User and Website User
Question: I have added my Employee as a User and have assigned them Roles as well. Still, they are not able to view Dashboard on the login.
Answer:
There are two type of Users in iVendNext.
System Users: They are typically internal users such as employees, managers, and administrators who need extensive access to the iVendNext system to perform various business operations. They have a higher level of access and more detailed permissions, allowing them to interact with multiple modules, generate reports, and customize workflows.
Website Users: They are typically external users like customers or suppliers who interact with the iVendNext system through a web portal.
