Last updated: May 6, 2026

Team Settings > Roles section: +New Role > name + description + permission checkboxes. Tailor permissions for counselors (student access, no admin), finance (payments/reports), junior staff (limited edit). Reassign roles via pencil icon edit.

Create custom roles to tailor permissions for users.

How to access

Settings > Teams > Roles section.

Create a new role

  1. Scroll to the Roles section.
  2. Click + New Role.
  3. Enter:
  4. Check the boxes for permissions.
  5. Click Save.

What permissions cover

Customize what tools and features users in this role can access.

Assign roles

  • Assign at team member creation (when adding the new user).
  • Reassign anytime: hover over the team member and click the pencil icon to edit role.

Why custom roles matter

Different team members need different access:

  • Counselors: full student access, but no admin settings.
  • Finance: payment data and reports.
  • Junior staff: limited create/edit permissions.

Custom roles match permissions to actual responsibilities.
