User management
Access categories are part of our user management system, if you haven't already, we recommend reading our article: User management explained.
The role of every user determines what permissions that user has. Access categories are a selection of pages and services that can be added to a role. All users with that role will then have permission to view and use those pages and services.
You can configure as many access categories as you like yourself, or you can use our default access category: Category A. This is one generic access category you can add to all services and pages. If you would like to make a distinction between access categories, you can make new access categories.
