Safepoint uses roles to control what each person can see and do. Roles exist at two levels:

  • Company roles — apply to the entire organisation

  • Team roles — apply only within a specific team


Company Roles

Owner

  • Has full control over all aspects of the company account

  • Can manage users (including other Owners), teams, billing, and settings

  • Multiple Owners can exist within a company

Admin

  • Can manage users (except Owners)

  • Can configure teams, billing, and settings

  • Cannot transfer ownership

Billing

  • Can manage subscription and billing details

  • Cannot manage users, teams, or other administrative settings

Member

  • Has access to general Safepoint features (e.g. creating tasks, raising alerts)

  • Cannot manage users, teams, billing, or settings


Team Roles

Team Admin

  • Can manage team settings

  • Can add and remove team members

  • Can view tasks and alerts (license required)

Guardian

  • Monitors and responds to alerts for the team

  • Can view real-time location data and incident information

  • Can view and manage all team tasks (license required)

Member Only

  • Can create tasks and raise alerts for themselves

Quick summary

  • Company roles decide what someone can do across the whole organisation (users, teams, billing, settings).

  • Team roles decide what someone can do inside a specific team (manage settings, act as a guardian, or just participate).
