Understand roles and permissions

Roles and permissions determine what each member can do inside a workspace. This helps keep your workspace secure, organized, and easier to manage as the team grows.

Why roles matter

Not every member needs the same level of access. Roles help control:

  • who can manage workspace settings
  • who can invite or remove team members
  • who can edit operational data
  • who can handle verification-related flows
  • who should only have visibility

Common workspace roles

Owner

The highest level of control in the workspace. Owners typically manage:

  • workspace setup
  • team structure
  • major settings
  • high-level oversight

Admin

Admins help manage the workspace and support the owner. Admins may help with:

  • inviting members
  • editing workspace-level settings
  • supporting operations and oversight

Lead

Leads usually help coordinate execution and support team accountability.

Manager

Managers handle day-to-day work such as:

  • projects
  • deals
  • follow-ups
  • relationship tracking

Viewer

Viewers usually have limited access and are best for people who need visibility without broad editing control.

Why permission control is important

Good permission structure helps prevent:

  • accidental edits
  • role confusion
  • access misuse
  • workspace disorder
  • too many people controlling sensitive settings

💡Best practices

  • keep owner access limited
  • only give admin access to trusted operators
  • assign managers to active workflow roles
  • use viewer access when someone only needs visibility
