Content Access

A role defines a set of tasks a user is allowed to perform and is assigned to a user when he or she registers into the system. Please check the Roles and Responsibilities section of this document to see the available access roles and the functionality they have access to.

Working with Staffs

Using WP Ticket, you can create, modify, delete, and search staff records, associated taxonomies, or relationships.
