App Configuration - Permissions
Manage Access to Your Apps
Overview
Permissions allow you to control who can manage your apps and what they can do.
They are structured across different levels:
- Organization level β global roles (Owner & Admin)
- App level β management rights per app (Manager)
- Module level β specific operational roles (Verifyer, Editor, etc.)
π Understanding this structure is key to managing your team efficiently.
1. How Permissions Work (Overview)
Organization Level
- Owner β full rights (including creating apps, managing subscriptions and managing permissions)
- Administrator β similar to Owner but with restrictions (e.g. cannot create apps or grant access)
App Level
- App Manager β full management rights for a specific app
π This is the role managed in the Permissions section of an app
Module Level
Some modules include specific roles:
- Verifier (Events) β check-in management
- Editor (News Feed) β content publishing
- Moderator (Threads), etc.
π These roles:
- Are configured inside each module
- Do not grant access to the Builder / Back Office
2. What the Permissions Section Does
The Permissions section is used to:
π Assign or remove App Manager rights for a specific app
It does not manage:
- Organization roles (Owner / Admin)
- Module-specific permissions
3. Important Rules
- Only Organization Administrators can be assigned as App Managers
- If a user is not an Admin, they will not appear in the list
-
When a user becomes an Admin, they automatically get:
π Manager rights on all apps (by default)
4. How to Manage App Permissions
Step 1: Go to Permissions in the left-hand menu
Step 2: View the list of Organization Administrators
Step 3: Enable or disable the App Manager toggle for each user
π Thatβs it β simple and fast.
5. When to Use App Manager Rights
Use App Manager rights when someone needs to:
- Configure modules
- Manage content
- Operate a specific app
π Ideal for delegating responsibility without giving full organization control.
6. When NOT to Use It
Do not use App Manager full rights when :
- Event check-in β use Verifier
- Posting content β use Editor
- Moderating discussions β use Moderator
π Use module-specific roles instead.
β Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to assign App Manager rights to non-admin users
- Confusing App Manager with module-level roles
- Giving access at the wrong level (too high or too low)
π‘ Pro Tip
Use this simple rule:
π Admin = can access the system
π App Manager = can manage a specific app
π Module roles = can perform specific actions
π Summary
- Permissions are structured across Organization, App, and Module levels
- The Permissions section controls App Manager rights only
- Only Admins can become App Managers
- Module roles are managed separately
π Clear permissions = better control and better teamwork.
