Question is not entirely clear, but I try to explain your mentioned Security Roles:

System Administrator → Has full access and control over everything in the system.

System Customizer → Can configure and customize the system but cannot manage users or security.

Salesperson → Can manage their own customers, leads, and opportunities to drive sales.

Sales Manager → Can oversee and manage their team’s sales records and performance.

Service Representative → Can handle customer support cases and service requests.

Service Manager → Can manage and monitor the service team and case operations.

Basic User → Can access and work only on records assigned or shared with them.

Read-Only User → Can only view data without making any changes.

Hey.

Please remember that you can add different roles to a single user. For example

- Administrator: System Administrator

- SalesPerson: BasicUser + SalesPerson + Sales app Access

- Manager: BasicUser + SalesManager + Sales app Access
