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.
