Assigning user roles in Benevity's Employee Engagement solution

User roles in Benevity's Employee Engagement solution are special permissions that allow users to manage parts of their employee engagement program. For example, some users might have the ability to create and publish volunteer opportunities, while others might be tasked with approving volunteer time.

Permissions

To assign roles in Benevity's Employee Engagement solution, you need both the Role Manager and User Account Manager roles assigned to you.

Note: Our Benevity teams must assign a user the Role Manager role. This is a safety net, due to elevated permission and added risk of the role.

See a full list of available user roles in Benevity's Employee Engagement solution, including their dependencies and capabilities.
