To facilitate effective collaboration and secure management within your organization on Pebb, it's important to understand the different user roles and how permissions can be customized. Pebb offers a flexible permissions system with three primary roles: Admin, Manager, and Member. This system allows you to control who can access specific features and perform certain actions within your organization.
User Roles Overview
1. Admin
The Admin is typically the first user who sets up the organization's account on Pebb. This role has the highest level of permissions, granting full control over organizational settings and user management.
2. Manager
Managers assist the Admin in overseeing the organization's activities. They have elevated permissions to help manage users and content but do not necessarily have access to all administrative functions.
3. Member
Members are users who interact with the organization's content and collaborate with the team but do not have administrative or managerial permissions.
Customizing Permissions
Pebb allows the Admin to customize permissions for various features, determining which roles have access. The Admin can set permissions to be accessible by:
Everyone: All users within the organization (Admins, Managers, and Members).
Admins and Managers: Only users with Admin or Manager roles.
Admins Only: Exclusively for users with the Admin role.
Note: This customization ensures that sensitive actions and features are accessible only to appropriate roles, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
