Two Role Systems

1 min read

In-house roles and remote roles are managed separately.

Overview

Employees and contractors need different defaults, so Clientish keeps two independent role systems. A change to a team role never quietly widens what your contractors can see.

The Two Systems

Roles
For in-house team members — Settings → Roles & Permissions
Remote Roles
For remote and virtual members — Settings → Remote Roles

What You Can Do With Either

Create
Build a role from scratch
View
See exactly what a role permits
Edit
Tick and untick permissions
Delete
Remove a role you no longer use
Clone
Copy an existing role as a starting point
Per-member override: individual members can deviate from their role, and be restored to role defaults.

Tips & Best Practices

Clone rather than create. Starting from an existing role means you only think about the differences, which is where mistakes hide.
