Applies to: ConnectWise Manage
To sync transactions from ConnectWise to your accounting package, the ConnectWise member performing the sync need role permissions to various modules.
If your organisation has a number of users assigned to specific security roles, and not all users require access to what Wise-Sync needs to sync transactions, a new role can be created specifically for those members that use Wise-Sync.
How do I get there?
To configure ConnectWise Manage security roles, navigate inside ConnectWise Manage to System > Security Roles.
What do I do?
