This segmentation allows your administrators to delegate configuration responsibilities efficiently, ensuring that each aspect of the workspace---from incident and problem management to UI customization and dashboard setup---is managed by users with the appropriate permissions. Consequently, this leads to streamlined operations, improved user experience, and better alignment of the workspace with your organizational processes.
