Roles — how they work, create & edit
Define what people can build, assign, and approve — and keep that model up to date.
How roles & permissions work
A role is a bundle of permissions — build, assign, approve — that applies the same way wherever it's granted, so a person's access doesn't have to be reasoned about differently from one app to the next.
Create a role
When an existing role doesn't quite match how a group of people should work, name a new one and set the permissions it carries — what it can build, assign, and approve. It's ready to assign to any user right away.
Edit a role
As a process changes — a new app, a new approval step — open the role and update what it can build, assign, or approve. Everyone currently holding that role picks up the change immediately, with nothing to reassign by hand. Roles aren't deleted once created — they're kept and adjusted in place, so nothing that references them breaks.
Why it matters
A consistent, well-kept permission model is what makes human approval meaningful rather than decorative — it's always clear who's actually allowed to sign off on what.
