How do I use the permissions system?

User Permissions and Access System

A useful feature on Online-billing-service.com is the flexibility you have in adding and configuring users.

Depending on your team and business needs, you can define and configure the permissions and access of users.

Furthermore, you have access at any time to the history of all actions performed by users on a document. Learn here about how to check the history of an invoice.

Last but not least, using the filters, you can group lists of documents based on the user (author) who added the respective documents. Learn about using the filters here.

Therefore, if you have one of the Standard, Business, or Premium subscriptions, you can limit access to certain documents and series of documents.

For all subscriptions with more than one available user, you can configure the permissions of users.
