A first step in defining your processes and customizing the system is to consider When you begin to customize the system, think about the different types of users who will be using the application and and how their role affects the access they will need.

A user can belong to multiple groups and receive the superset of those groups' permissions, and to a primary team with additional teams. A user's access to the system – the tables, tabs. Groups set the level of access to tables, records, and fields they see, as well as records they can create or edit and menu actions they can perform - depends on group memberships. It is possible to create as many groups as you need, but from a maintenance perspective it is preferable to keep the number of groups small.
