## Features
### Build
Plan and build workflows using Lightning's visual interface to quickly define
when, where and what you want your automation to do.
Use our
CLI
to quickly build, edit and deploy projects from the comfort of your own code
editor.
### Monitor
Monitor all workflow activity in one place.
- Filter and search runs to identify issues that need addressing and follow how
 a specific request has been processed
- Configure alerts to be notified on run failures
- Receive a project digest for a daily/weekly/monthly summary of your project
 activity
### Manage
Manage users and access by project.
### Roles and permissions
Authorization is a central part of Lightning. As such, users are given different
roles which determine what level of access they have for resources in the
application. For more details about roles and permissions in Lightning, please
refer to our
documentation.
