Configure role permissions

Role: Company Administrator.

Each company-level and workspace-level role has its own permissions configuration, which determines what functions a user can access and what actions they can perform across the Whispir platform or within a particular workspace. For example, a Workspace Member may be allowed to create and send messages but a Workspace Guest might only have permission to view sent messages.

As a company administrator you configure a role’s permissions using the permissions matrix.

Important! Given the potentially significant impact to users of modifying permissions, we recommend that you contact the Whispir Support Team (support@whispir.com) to discuss your requirements before proceeding.
