Understanding permissions in roles

You can grant specific privileges via permission settings under each entity for a role

Types of permissions

1. No access: Users cannot access the entity.

2. Read access: Users can view the entity but cannot modify it.

3. Contributor access: (For Lists and Models only) Users can manually input values but cannot change the structure.

4. Full access: Users can perform all actions on the entity.
