Super Administrators can create and edit custom System Roles in the global settings area, alongside the default roles. These roles define additional reporting lines or user relationships, such as assigning a T&C Manager to supervise specific users. Custom System Roles can also be used in workflows—for example, assigning the role as a stage owner in a Form Workflow, allowing input from the role holder based on their defined relationship.

⚠️ Important: This option doesn't allow for creating bespoke system roles with custom permissions.
