🔹 Why Assigning Departments is Important

Controls Matter & Invoice Access – If a user is a Department Overview User, they will only see matters allocated to their assigned departments.
Enables Spend Analytics Access – A Department Overview User will see spend data for their assigned departments in the Spend Overview Dashboard.
Tracks Organizational Structure – Helps in managing user roles and permissions effectively.


📌 For security reasons, user access should be managed directly by your company’s Admin team. Brightflag Support cannot update user permissions on your behalf.
