Roles and permissions
How to view roles
1. In the left-hand navigation, click on the People management tab then click Settings.
2. Select Roles & permissions.
3. There are 2 tabs in Roles and Permissions: Default roles and Custom roles. Default roles are predefined by Rise. Default roles include main roles (Member, Admin, Owner and Manager) and add-on roles. All roles except the Owner role can be customized.
- Member: Default starting role for employees.
- Admin: Same permissions as owners, but can't give full access to others.
- Owner: Full access across Rise. Can’t be modified.
- Manager: Automatically assigned to anyone with direct reports. In addition to having permissions relating to themselves and other employees, managers also have permissions related to their direct reports
The rest of this article shows you how to customize default roles. If you don’t want to edit default roles or if you’d like to have additional roles, you can create custom roles. Check out our article on how to create custom roles.
