Department functionality allows you to separate GoCanvas forms, submission data, and users inside a single GoCanvas account.

User Roles

Once you have your Departments set up, you can add new users for the Department or edit the existing users. Each user must be assigned to at least one department and a role within that department. Users can be members of multiple departments with different roles within each department.

Account level users are able to access data and settings company wide while department level users control data and settings for the department they belong to. Each user role has it's own set of permissions.
