Common mistakes

• Assuming a role change widens asset access Standard members work only on the accounts and assets they're given.Why it happens: You expect the new role to cover everything, not only assigned assets.Already happened: Review the member's asset assignments in Business Center asset permissions.
• Expecting Standard to add members Admin role can add a Member, but Standard role cannot.Why it happens: You assume any role can manage membership the way Admin does.
• Forgetting finance roles stack on Admin An Advanced role must be assigned to Business Center Admins in order for them to view or manage finances.Why it happens: You assume Admin access alone already includes finance visibility.
• Expecting Standard to invite partners Admin role can invite a Partner, but Standard role cannot.Why it happens: You assume Standard can handle partner invitations like Admin.
