Roles determine what a user can see and do. Assign roles carefully so that sensitive tasks such as billing, branding, and authentication updates are restricted to trusted users. Choose a role for the member using the role menu. Roles include:

  • Owners have full access to all organizational settings, branding and white label configuration, billing and credits, authentications, and all businesses. Owners can also invite and remove any user.
  • Admin
  • Managers manage businesses, approve assistant tasks, configure schedules, invite users and access most settings. They may not have access to billing depending on organizational policy.
  • Reporting or Member roles have limited access to certain assigned businesses and limited reporting access. They can review tasks but not approve them. Typically cannot manage organization settings.
