Commercial Module – User Roles & Permissions

Role-based access for the Commercial module — what Admins, Account Owners, Finance Approvers, and Viewers can each see and do.

User Management

Before assigning module-specific roles below, make sure your organization's account setup follows these platform-wide guidelines.

  • Use Single Sign-On (SSO) — recommended. SSO lets your team log in with your company's existing identity provider (e.g. Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) instead of a separate EventChain password. It's recommended because access is centrally managed: when someone joins or leaves the company, their EventChain access is automatically granted or revoked through the identity provider, and there's no extra password to manage, forget, or have phished.

  • Enforce SSO-only sign-up. SSO can be locked as the only path for adding new users, so no one can be added manually once it's turned on.

  • Allowed domains - also recommended. You can restrict sign-up and SSO login to a list of allowed email domains (e.g. only @yourcompany.com), so only people with a company email can join.

  • Audit logging — also recommended. All user actions are logged and can be ingested into your own logging or SIEM tooling, giving you a full audit trail of who did what and when.

  • If SSO isn't used. Only users with the Application Owner or Auditor role can add, edit, or remove other users' access. Any manual change made to a user is recorded on that user's profile — who made the change and when — so there's still a clear audit trail.
