User roles explained

Owner, Admin, User and Support are labels. Permissions are what actually control access.

Roles are labels, not permission sets. Two people with the role "User" can have completely different access. What controls access is each person's individual permissions - see Set user permissions.

Note - Roles are being reworked. This article covers what they do today and will be expanded when that lands.

Role

Typical use

Owner

The account holder or brokerage principal

Admin

Team leaders and operations managers

User

Support

Internal support access

Change a role

  1. Go to the Users tab.

  2. Find the user.

  3. Open the User Roles dropdown on their row.

  4. Choose the new role.

The new label shows on their row straight away.

Who can do this: anyone with the Users → Role change permission.

Note - Changing a role changes the label only. To change what someone can do, update their permissions.
