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.)

πŸ‘‰ 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

πŸ‘‰ 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.

πŸ‘‰ 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:

πŸ‘‰ 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:

    πŸ‘‰ 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

πŸ‘‰ That’s 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

πŸ‘‰ 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

πŸ‘‰ Use module-specific roles instead.


⚠ 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)

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Use this simple rule:

πŸ‘‰ Admin = can access the system

πŸ‘‰ App Manager = can manage a specific app

πŸ‘‰ Module roles = can perform specific actions


πŸ‘ 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

πŸ‘‰ Clear permissions = better control and better teamwork.
