Roles & Permissions — How to Use

Roles in Crewlix define what a person can see and what actions they can take across the workspace. When creating a role, think in terms of responsibility, not job title.

A good rule of thumb:

  • View permissions → visibility and access
  • Add / Edit permissions → operational control
  • Delete / Approve / Disburse permissions → high-risk actions, usually limited to admins

Below, permissions are grouped by module. Each section explains what the permissions control and who should typically have them.
