Create custom roles to access Qapita Portal


Qapita provides several predefined roles that reflect standard positions within a company. Each role comes with preset access levels to ensure users see only what’s relevant to their responsibilities.

Default Roles Available:

  • Admin
  • Investor
  • Employee
  • Advisor
  • Board Director

Cap Table Access Overview:

  • Admin → Default access to the Cap Table is set to Detailed View.
  • Employee → Default access is set to No Access.

These default roles streamline access management and ensure the right information reaches the right people.
