The Access Controls section of the Biggy AI Web App provides a single place for administrators to manage who can access your organization's data in Biggy AI. You can create and manage users, control which tasks they can perform, and which areas of the web app they have access to.
Create and manage Biggy AI users.
Determine which action plans users are able to execute.

Determine which data sources Biggy AI can use to retrieve answers for specific users.
Customize standard Biggy AI roles and create custom roles.
Within the Roles page, you can configure roles to control permissions for your organization. Roles allow you to restrict what source data users can access, which parts of the web app they can use, and what action plans they can execute.
Two standard roles are included, but you can also create custom roles to fit your organization's needs.

The Roles Page
Biggy AI offers two standard roles:
System Admin - Allowed to execute any action plan, and edit all sections of the web app. This role cannot be edited.
Standard User - Able to execute all action plans. If a user is not assigned a role upon creation, they will receive this role by default. This role can be edited.
Role icons
Standard roles have a green icon next to the name. Custom roles have a purple icon.
