The Power User concept allows the creation of a new role to grant specific users limited access to Admin Center for very specific features of the platform.

Power User concept
A Portal Admin can access all settings available within Admin Center and Admin Plus. The Power User role creates a limited view to Admin Center with select permissions. Users assigned the Power User role will only be able to see or change settings granted to them through the permissions associated with the role.
The Power User role can be named anything upon creation. Pathify's use of "Power User" terminology is aimed at describing the additional permissions Users receive to access limited sections of Admin Center.

If a Power User should only assign tasks to certain roles, do not grant them the ‘Can add task batch’ permission. Instead, grant them ‘Can view tasks batch’ permissions and enable the Power User’s role the ability to assign tasks to this role. When this is done, the Power User can create a task, but only for users in the role for which they were granted the 'can assign tasks to this role' permission.
