Roles and Permissions

Trackelio uses a role-based permission system to control what users can do within a workspace and across the platform. There are three workspace-level roles and one platform-level role.

The workspace owner has full control over the workspace. There is exactly one owner per workspace.

Owners can:

  • Create and delete the workspace.
  • Manage billing and subscription.
  • Invite and remove members.
  • Promote members to moderator.
  • Configure all workspace settings (branding, integrations, webhooks).
  • Perform all moderator and member actions.

Moderators help manage day-to-day operations within the workspace.

Moderators can:

  • Create, edit, and delete boards.
  • Create, edit, and delete labels.
  • Triage posts: assign team members, change statuses, set priority and severity.
  • Pin and unpin posts.
  • Delete comments.
  • View workspace analytics.
  • Perform all member actions.

Members are standard users who participate in feedback collection and discussion.

Members can:

  • Create new posts.
  • Vote on posts.
  • Comment on posts.
  • Edit their own posts.
  • Watch posts for updates.
  • Update their own profile.

Platform admins operate at the system level, outside of any specific workspace.

Platform admins can:

  • View all registered users.
  • Ban and unban users.
  • Manage subscriptions and billing across the platform.
  • View platform-wide statistics.

There are three ways a user can become a member of a workspace:

  • Email invitation — The owner or a moderator sends an invite to a specific email address. The recipient joins with the member role by default.
  • Shareable invitation link — The owner generates a link that anyone can use to join the workspace as a member.
  • Public board sign-up — Users who sign up through the public-facing board are automatically added to the workspace with the member role.
  • New members always start with the member role.
  • The workspace owner can promote any member to moderator.
  • Only one user can hold the owner role per workspace.
