Role-Based Access Overview
Updated 2026-04-25
How role-based access controls navigation, landing pages, and the actions a user can take.
NxtLayr uses role-based access to control what users can see, where they land, and what actions they can take.
Why role-based access matters
Role-based access is important because different users need different experiences. A Standard User should not see the same operational pages as a Super Admin or Onboarding user. At the same time, each user should still be able to reach the workflows relevant to their job.
What role-based access controls
Depending on configuration, role-based access can affect:
- landing page
- left navigation
- visible screens
- visible buttons and actions
- workflow ownership and editing rights
- approval access
- read-only versus editable views
Common examples
Examples include:
- Standard Users landing on My Support Home
- Executive Viewers seeing read-only summary pages
- Onboarding users seeing onboarding dashboards and discovery workflows
- Org Admins seeing members, entitlements, and broader organization-level views
Best practice
Grant users the least access needed for their responsibilities. This improves clarity and reduces risk.
