User Access Controls restrict what users can see and do within Buildxact. For example, you may want your supervisor to have access to areas to do with running the job (e.g. scheduling/purchasing), and not have access to the estimating section at all.
Which plans is it available on
A basic version of this is available on the Pro plan, where it contains ONLY the Owner and Administrator role (from access levels section below). Setting these roles is still done via the users screen as described in this article, but the screen will show fewer options.
The full version of user access is available on the Teams plan, which contains ALL access levels/features discussed in this article.

The Access Levels/Roles
There are 8 predefined roles with varying degrees of access.
See below for what the roles are and their access or click the button below to download the complete breakdown of exactly what each role can do.
Notes:
Any user can be assigned to multiple roles.
The "Financial" role is essentially an on/off switch used to show/hide gross profit for users. So, for example, a user could be "Accounts" and "Financial".
