A user refers to a record of a member that you have added to the system. Multiple users can have the same permissions and role assignment. However, one user can be assigned only one role.
For example:
User 1: Alex
User 2: Maria
Role Type 1: Support Agent
Role Type 2: Sales Admin
In this case, both Alex and Maria can be assigned the role of Support Agent.
However, none of these two users can be assigned two roles at one time. Alex could either be a Support Agent in your system or a Sales Admin.
💡 If there is a situation where a user is performing the duties of two roles, then you can create a new role with the permissions sets of both existing roles. And, then assign that new role to the user performing the tasks of two existing roles.
