This article will describe what the different user types mean and what they are able to do in the system.

Below we list these and describe each one of them.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="User">
    A user has the ability to create expense reports and submit to their organisation, the user does not have access to the organisation mode and its settings. The user only has access to their own submitted reports, more information about this can be found <InlineButton href="/en/expense-and-reports-users/have-i-submitted-my-expenses">here.</InlineButton>

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Approver">
    No extra authorization is needed for the user who is to be an approver, you can set a normal user in the system as an approver. Otherwise, as an approver, you have no extra authority in the system apart from just approving and rejecting reports.

    Do you want to know more about how to set up approvers?

  <Accordion title="Administrator">
    An administrator can register expenses, mileages and allowances (per diems) for themselves. In addition they can also make changes in settings that effects the whole organisation, ie. change approvers, add dimensions or change integrations and see all submitted reports. The administrator also change how the user interface looks like and which users that can do what. You can only access the organisation mode and can administer an organisation on the web.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Consultant">
    As a consultant, like the administrator, you have the opportunity to make changes for the entire organisation and also see all submitted reports. Something that distinguishes a consultant from other user types is that the consultant cannot create their own expense reports and submit, it costs nothing for the organisation to add, and the consultant cannot act as a proxy and switch to others users in the system.

  <Accordion title="Partner administrator">
    As a partner administrator, you have access to all organisations that exist on the partner. Like the administrator, you can make changes to these organisations and see all submitted reports. The partner administrator can also create new organisations and add new consultants to the partner.
