What this page is for
A role is a named set of permissions. A person can do whatever any of their roles allows. Tulindo seeds five roles when your business is set up; you can change what each one grants, and — if your plan includes custom roles — add your own.
The columns:
- Name: the role's name.
- Key: its fixed identifier, used by seeders and support and never shown to the people it is granted to.
- Kind: Seeded (one of the five Tulindo created) or Custom (one you added).
- Permissions: how many permissions it holds, or Every permission for the Owner role.
Only people whose role can manage roles see this page.
How to…
How to see what a role grants
Press the row, or open its row menu and choose Open.
How to add a custom role
Press New role. See New role. Only available where your plan includes custom roles; otherwise a notice explains that you can still change the permissions of the seeded roles other than Owner.
How to delete a custom role
Open the row menu and choose Delete role, then confirm. Everyone holding it loses it, and the permissions it gave them, at once. A seeded role cannot be deleted.
If something goes wrong
- Your plan does not include custom roles, so no new role can be created. The permissions of the seeded roles, other than Owner, can still be changed. — upgrade your plan on Billing for a custom role, or change what a seeded role grants instead.
