A role is a set of permissions in three areas: Objects, Settings, and Apps. This page lists every permission you can set when you create or edit a role in Settings › Role › Role. To create a role, see Manage roles.

​
Objects

“Actions you can perform on objects family.” For each object family, you check Read, Write, and Delete.

​
Project Access Level

The Project Access Level limits which projects a user can access, on top of the Project permissions:

​
Settings

“Manage general application-level actions.” Each settings zone has one Authorize checkbox. It controls access to the matching section of the settings menu.

​
Apps

Each app-level action has one Authorize checkbox.

​
Licence of a role

Qwoty calculates the licence of a role from its permissions:
  • core if the role can write projects,
  • support if the role can only read projects but can write other objects.
When you invite a user, the Role list only shows the roles that match the selected Licence. Each licence uses a seat of the matching type. See Subscription and seats.

​
System roles

The system roles admin, manager, view_only, and sale show a System badge and are read-only: “This role is a default system role and cannot be modified.” Open one with View to see its permissions.
You can’t create a custom role with the same permissions as view_only. Change at least one permission.

Manage roles

Create, edit, and delete roles.

Manage users

Assign a licence, a role, and teams to users.
