Setting User Roles and Permissions

By default, Master Accounts include the Administrator role, while Accounts include both Standard and Administrator roles. In this guide, we'll walk you through creating new user roles and assigning them to users.

How to Create a New User Role

1In your WhatConverts account, click the Master Account Settings icon, then select Users.

3On the next page, give the role a name, configure the email notifications, and click Continue.

First step of the Add Account Role page asking for the name of the role and to choose notification preferences.

4Choose a permission level:

  • Full Access – Users can view and edit information.
  • View Only – Users can view but cannot edit information.
  • Custom – Assign access levels to different information.

Second step of the Add Account Role page for selecting the role’s permission level

5If you select Custom, you can configure access levels for each section of your account. For the Leads section, an additional access level is available:

Edit – Custom, which includes:

  • Customize Visible Columns
  • Customize Sorting Preferences
  • Customize Filtering Preferences
  • Customize Lead Management
  • Customize Lead Attribution

In the example below, the Role has Edit - Custom access to Leads. Per the settings, the user can only see specific columns when they log in to their account and will not be able to edit them. They also won't be able to export leads and must view them using the first-click attribution model.
