Create or change a role

ForOwnerAdmin

Decide what a role lets people do.

Roles live on the Roles tab of Settings, then Team. You give roles to people on the Team tab.

Create a role

Start it

Press New role. Give it a Name and a short Description. The description is shown wherever someone chooses this role for a person.

Choose what it permits

Start from nothing, or choose Copy existing to start from another role. Then tick the permissions it should have.

Create it

Press Create. A new role saves at once.

Change what a role permits

Tick or untick permissions in Permissions by area, or press Edit on a role. Nothing saves yet: press Review and save to see what the changes will let people do, and how many people each one affects, then press Save.

Limits

  • Owner always has every permission and cannot be changed.
  • Only an owner can change what Admin can do.
  • Some permissions can only be held by Owner and Admin.
  • A built-in role cannot be deleted, and nor can a role people still hold. Move them to another role first.
