Special Role Permissions Overview

There are four Special Role Permissions designated for users who need to perform additional actions within their company's Emburse Professional account:

• Administrators: Manage their company's system and/ or account configuration.
• Auditors:  Monitor expenses flagged by Emburse Assurance.
• Treasurers: Submit processed expense reports for reimbursement or Mark as Paid for manual reimbursement.
• Translators: Create custom translations for their company. 

Each user must have a Standard User Role in Emburse Professional. One or more Special Role Permissions can be granted to users as needed in addition to their Standard User Role.

Accounts Payable add-on permissions are assigned separately from Special Role Permissions and standard expense user roles. For how expense user roles relate to Accounts Payable access, see Expense User Roles Overview.
