Match permissions to the job.
A creator may draft and edit. An approver can make the final decision. A manager can see blockers. Billing owners can manage plan access.
Reduce accidental changes.
Scoped roles keep clients, reviewers, and junior creators from changing settings or work that belongs to another brand.
Make work lists useful.
Role-aware filtering helps each user see the work they can act on instead of a long list of every item in the organization.

FAQ
Roles and permissions questions
Can one person have different roles by brand?
Yes. Teams can assign roles at the organization, brand, pillar, or campaign level as workflows mature.
Can clients review without seeing internal work?
