The customer role allows operations like managing customer data and viewing their history. Customers can enter and view their history in the system. These capabilities are vital. They ensure customers own their data. The CRM system records all relevant data and interactions about the customer.

A lot of communications are also defined concerning the salesperson role, which is one of the critical roles in the CRM. The sales team can 'assign sale tasks.' It allows splitting the work among team members or within the work assigned to one member. Another important feature is the for sending email campaigns. It lets salespeople promote an offer to customers or leads.

Sales reps can also track ongoing sales efforts. This particular function is also concerned with the preparation of various reports. The 'include' relationship between the two functions shows this. These are tracking sales and implementing and preparing reports. Reports help decision-making by analyzing key sales, customer, and marketing metrics.

The admin role will handle two tasks: managing leads and user permissions. Managing leads is a key feature for coordinating with potential customers.

Manage user permission is aimed at the safeguarding of sensitive information, by allowing only certain personnel to specific levels of information within the system, the admin can add or restrict user permissions. The admin can assign roles. This gives some users more control or restricts their access.
