Microsoft Monetize - Create a custom role
If you need more fine-grained control over how your users access Microsoft Monetize, you can create a custom role. Custom roles allow you to control what a user sees in Microsoft Monetize so they only see the parts of your business that you choose.
Custom roles control the actions a user is allowed to take, such as the ability to view information or full permissions to modify that same information. For example, you may want an external sales house to have limited booking and reporting access. This page shows you how to create a custom role. For more information about roles, see Working with Roles.
