Commercial insurance organizations manage sensitive information including premiums, underwriting decisions, policy data, carrier pricing, bureau content, and customer information. Not every employee should have access to every product, pricing rule, or administrative function.SelectRate User Role Management provides enterprise Role Based Access Control (RBAC) that allows organizations to define exactly what each user can view, configure, approve, deploy, or administer.Whether you have ten users or ten thousand, SelectRate provides centralized security, governance, and permission management across the entire commercial insurance platform.

Permissions can be granted based on:
