# Understanding Avo Assure Roles

In Avo Assure, different roles have different privileges and permissions according to that QM, QL and QE perform their tasks 

Go through the below screenshot to know the privileges:

### Primary Roles

**There are three primary roles defined within the system, listed here in descending order of hierarchy:**

<table><thead><tr><th width="153">Role </th><th width="323.4000244140625">Description </th><th>Hierarchy Level  (Highest to Lowest) </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Quality Manager </p><p>(QM) </p></td><td><p>Holds the highest authority in the quality </p><p>domain. </p></td><td>1 (Highest) </td></tr><tr><td>Quality Lead (QL) </td><td><p>Mid-level role overseeing quality tasks </p><p>and team members. </p></td><td>2 </td></tr><tr><td><p>Quality Engineer </p><p>(QE) </p></td><td><p>Entry or execution-level role responsible </p><p>for quality engineering activities. </p></td><td>3 (Lowest) </td></tr></tbody></table>

**Additionally, there is one Secondary Role:**

| Role  | Description                                                                             |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Admin | <p>Support role with administrative </p><p>privileges, separate from quality roles </p> |

### Role Precedence across Multiple Assignments&#x20;

When a security group is linked to a vertical with multiple roles assigned to a single user, the role with the highest precedence will be considered effective.&#x20;

**Example:** If a user is assigned both QM and QE roles within the same vertical, the system will assign the QM role privileges because QM outranks QE.&#x20;

### Admin Role Combination:&#x20;

The **Admin role** can be combined only with the Quality Manager (QM) role at the vertical level.&#x20;

If a security group is mapped to a vertical with both QM and Admin roles, the user will have:&#x20;

**Primary role:** Quality Manager Privileges Additional role: Vertical Admin privileges&#x20;

### Project-Level Roles&#x20;

Project-level roles mirror the same three primary roles: QM, QL, and QE.&#x20;

The key difference from primary roles is that project-level roles are specific to individual projects.&#x20;

A user can have a primary role (instance-level) such as QM across the organization but hold different roles (e.g., QL or QE) for specific projects.&#x20;

Project-level roles define the user's privileges and responsibilities within the context of that particular project, which may differ from their primary role.&#x20;

### **Summary of Role Assignment**&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="123">Role Type </th><th width="119.199951171875">Role Options </th><th width="152">Scope </th><th>Privilege Determination </th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Primary Role </td><td>QM, QL, QE </td><td>User Level </td><td><p>Highest role takes precedence if multiple roles </p><p>assigned </p></td></tr><tr><td>Project Role </td><td>QM, QL, QE </td><td>Project-specific </td><td><p>Role assigned per project defines privileges for that </p><p>project </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Secondary </p><p>Role </p></td><td>Admin </td><td><p>Account/Vertical </p><p>Level </p></td><td><p>Separate administrative </p><p>privileges </p></td></tr></tbody></table>
