# People: Overview

> Everyone in your organisation, from dashboard users to staff and contractors on the staff portal, with the permissions that decide what each person can do and the roles and groups that decide what's assigned to them.

<Note>
  **Quick summary**

  * **People** is where you manage everyone in your organisation, including staff and contractors who only use the staff portal.
  * A person's permission level sets what they can do in Assuric, and the roles and groups you give them set which checklists and training they get.
</Note>

Some people here use the whole Assuric dashboard. Others, such as staff and contractors, only ever see the staff portal.
