Overview

Granting contact people from your company directory to your TriBuild site is a big responsibility.  There are many different types of accesses to TriBuild, and users can be given access to multiple permissions so they can have access to all of the functions they will be needing.

How to Grant a user access

Access can be given to existing contacts, or new contacts that are being added to the company directory.
