Administrative Permissions
Some permissions can cause harm to your workspace if given to a bad actor. Here’s the list of all levels of permissions:
The permissions below can be given to everyone without harming your workspace:
- View Workspace
- Request timeoff
- View Knowledge Library
- Assign Host to Self (for Hosts)
- Assign Co-Host to Self (for Co-Hosts)
- Create New Server (for Hosts and Co-Hosts)
- Change Week on Calendar
If you want the staff to access the workspace, enable View Workspace. This will also allow you to give more permissions to the staff.
Please do note that it’s up to you to decide whether they will gonna need the permission. These are only our suggestions to help you on deciding if a permission should be given to everyone, or to only a handful of people.
Dependent Permissions
Some permissions are hidden because they are dependent to a parent permission. This means in order for them to be given, they will need their parent to be enabled first.
Below is the list of all parent permissions:
- View Workspace
- View Knowledge Library
- View Other Staff
