Multi-Roles Per User Functionality
Assigning Multiple Roles to a User
Overview
First Due now supports assigning multiple roles to a single user within the Roles and Permissions system. This enhancement gives you more flexibility when managing access and responsibilities for users who work across modules or teams.
You can:
Assign one or more roles to any user.
Combine permissions from all assigned roles.
Eliminate the need for custom hybrid roles for unique combinations.
If a user is both a “Responder” and a “Training Admin,” assigning both roles will give them the permissions of each—without needing to create a custom role.
Where to Access
Go to Admin > Users
Select the user you want to edit
Under Roles, click "Add an Additional Role" and start typing the name of the role you want to add and click the role from the dropdown
Click Save to apply changes
All selected roles will now appear in the user's profile and in the users list view.
How Permissions Work
When multiple roles are assigned:
All permissions are cumulative.
If one role grants access to a feature and another does not, access is granted.
Permissions are evaluated across all assigned roles.
Existing users will keep their current roles until updated.

Q: Can I still create custom roles?
A: Yes! You can continue to build and assign custom roles as needed.
