This article explains how to set and change an employee's role permissions. Each role has default permissions enabled. However, these can be modified to suit your business needs.   

Roles assigned to employees can be individually customized from the Employee Roles section of the employee details screen. This allows you to edit the permissions of the role for an individual employee only without changing the permissions of the role for everyone assigned.  

For example, perhaps you want to grant an employee some of the permissions of the Admin role, but not all. Customizing the role opens a side menu where you can enable and disable the permissions of the Admin role for this employee.
