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

  • 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
