### Introduction 

Your store can have multiple internal users who can log in to the Chord OMS and manage the day-to-day functions.
Each user should have their account, with permissions limited to only their areas of role and responsibility

### User Roles 

A User Role is a built-in collection of user permissions that defines a specific job. A Role helps improve efficiency and reduce the risk of human error by enabling you to delegate responsibilities and permissions to specific users only.
You can also use Roles in conjunction with Promotions, such as Employee discounts or Affiliate Programs, to name a few.
