Roles and Permissions FAQ
What should I do if I can’t see the “Roles and Permissions” option?
If you're on a lower-tier plan, you’ll be able to see the feature, but won’t have access to it. Upgrading your plan will unlock it for you.
What happens if I downgrade my plan?
If you downgrade your plan, all existing staff members will keep their assigned roles, including any modifications you’ve made. However, on a lower-tier plan, you can only create new staff members with the “User” role.
Can I assign multiple roles to one staff member?
Right now, staff members can only have one role assigned to them. However, you can adjust that role's permissions to suit your needs.
What happens if I change role permissions while editing permissions for a specific staff member?
If you update the role permissions, the changes will apply to the staff member unless you have customized their individual permissions. Any overrides will stay the same to ensure they keep the access you set for them.
Why can’t I see my changes?
If you’ve made changes to a staff member’s role or permissions and they can't see the update, ask them to refresh the page.
Is it possible to recover a deleted role?
Roles cannot be recovered once deleted, so please be cautious when deleting them. Make sure to save any important data before removing a role.
