The role-based access feature in Core-Strategy enables the creation of roles independently from user access. This streamlines the establishment of precise control at a granular level, aligned with the users’ respective organizational hierarchy.

User Management

User Management

Administrators will need to invite stakeholders, leaders and managers to create their account profiles within Core-Strategy. After entering key details such as name, email ID, and organizational affiliation, users receive email notifications inviting them to join the organization profile.
