Adjust role permissions for an app

The Roles & Permissions grid shows, per app, which features each role can see. You can grant a feature to a role or mask one away as a global override on top of the standard baseline — and always revert.

Before you start​

  • Sign in to the admin console with CollabKare staff access.
  • Go to Platform & Governance → Roles & Permissions.
  • Understand the scope: these overrides change what users see in the apps (menus, pages, features). They do not change underlying data access, which is enforced separately.

Steps​

  1. Select the app you want to adjust. The grid loads with roles as rows and features as columns; each cell shows whether that role currently sees that feature and where that setting comes from (baseline or override).
  2. Click a cell to stage a change. Clicking cycles through the sensible next state:
    • a feature that's on gets a staged mask (hide it),
    • a feature that's off gets a staged grant (show it),
    • an existing override gets a staged revoke (back to baseline),
    • clicking a staged cell again undoes the staged change.
  3. When you're happy, use the publish bar at the bottom: Publish applies all staged changes, or Discard throws them away. After publishing you'll see a confirmation — users pick up the changes at their next login.

Tips / Troubleshooting​

  • To wipe a role's overrides entirely, use the reset control on the role's row — you'll be asked to confirm resetting that role to the matrix baseline; all its global overrides are revoked (restorable from audit).
  • Click Audit history in the page header to open a drawer listing recent permission changes.
  • Changes are invariant-checked when published; if a change would break a safety rule, the publish is refused with an error.
