# Users & Employees

There is a distinct difference between "**users**" and "**employees**," each with specific access rights and functionalities:

* **Users:** These are individuals who have login credentials for the online portal. Users can sign in using their email and password to access, manage, and interact with information on the portal. This group primarily includes **administrative roles** and those who need to oversee or update various aspects of the operations from anywhere via the internet.
* **Employees:** This group does not have access to the online portal and **cannot** log in to view or manage data. Their interaction with the system is limited to their specific **operational roles**. However, certain employees, such as foremen, may have the capability to log into the Android application to capture information directly in the field. This allows them to input data relevant to their daily tasks and responsibilities while on-site, but they do not have broader portal access for administrative functions.

This structure ensures that data access and management are tailored to the roles and responsibilities within the organization, enhancing security and efficiency.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.allwage.com/fundamentals/users-and-employees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
