Role	A 'role' determines the permissions that a staff member has within the C1 interface. C1 has three built-in roles – 'Admin', 'Account Admin' and 'Technician'. Technician is a good starting role for staff. You cannot edit the built in roles, but you can clone them and edit the clone. The person that signed up for the account is the 'Account Admin'. This role has all available privileges. Account admins can add staff and assign them to any role except 'Account Admin'. See 'Manage Roles' for more on default roles and creating new roles.
Two-Factor Authentication	States whether or not additional login security is setup for the staff member. If enabled, staff need to enter a unique code in addition to their username and password. More details on this are at Account Security Settings.
