Practice and CloudConnect versions of TaxCalc support multiple user logins.

These user accounts can have their permission levels set to specific 'user roles', which allows the TaxCalc Administrator (the admin user) greater control over what users can see and are allowed to edit.

By default, TaxCalc has six different types of user role:
