You can assign roles to employees to determine what they can access and the tasks that they can perform in Alta Surveillance. For example, you can assign the role of reviewer to an employee who needs to monitor, review, hold review, question, escalate, appraise, and comment on the items in a department. Some roles are effective at the application level, across Alta Surveillance, whereas others apply at the department level only.
Alta Surveillance has several predefined roles, but, if none precisely meets your requirements, you can customize new roles. You can delete only customized roles if you have no use for them, and not the predefined roles.
