Using organization roles

note

Who can use this feature?

Organization Owners, Admins, and users with org.users:manage or groups:manage permission

Each member of a Superblocks organization has an organization role. These roles control the Superblocks features that members can access, the administrative actions they can perform, and the level of access they have to all current and future resources created in the org.

Users can be assigned a built-in role, or you can create up to 10 custom roles. For more information, see About custom organization roles

This guide walks through how to manage the organization roles assigned to individuals and groups in Superblocks.

Setting default role

Each member of your organization must have an organization role. When users are invited to your org, you must select the role that will be assigned. If your organization lets users join your team based on their email domain, they will be assigned the default role set for your organization. To update your org's default role:

1. Click your avatar in the upper-left corner of the home page and click Organization Settings
2. Click Roles & Permissions and go to the Settings tab
3. Update the New user default role

Now, when users join your team, they will automatically be assigned this role.
