Roles and permissions

See what each role can do and rename roles to fit your team.

Owners and admins1 min read
Roles & permissions.

Zoom in on each part

  1. At a glance table
  2. Roles section, one card per role

A person’s role decides what they can do. Their permission level can only reduce it (Standard or View only), and their view limits which sections they see.

  1. Open Settings, then Roles & permissions
  2. Read the At a glance table

    A tick means allowed and a dash means not allowed.

  3. Scroll to Roles to rename a role or change its description

    The Owner role is fixed.

  4. Adjust what a role can do

    Some permissions are locked to protect your workspace, for example only Owners and Admins can manage people and settings.

  5. Choose Reset on a role to go back to the standard version, or Reset every role to its default at the bottom to undo all changes, then Save changes

For the full list, see Roles and permissions reference.
