PlanCore

Global role

Notes

  • Global roles can be reused when defining rates across PlanCore resources, teams, and projects.

  • Only users with PlanCore admin or billing/admin permissions should configure or update global role rates.

  • Use clear role names so rates are easy to identify when assigning costs later.

In PlanCore, a Global role defines a reusable work role and its hourly rate information. Global roles help standardize cost planning by letting teams apply the same role-based rate across different people, work items, or project plans.
