Roles and permissions

Current roles and permissions facts for Slash Social.

Roles and permissions assign creators, reviewers, approvers, managers, and billing owners the controls that match their work in Slack. Admins manage assignments from Settings; Slash Social derives each user’s persona from roles on the active brand to filter App Home cards, work items, and quick actions.

What it includes

Role management lives in the Settings work center and appears in the settings modal and approval-thread surfaces. The feature is in beta.

RoleTypical access
AdminBilling, org settings, broad governance
OwnerBrand configuration and membership
ManagerApprovals, analytics, limited settings
Approver / ReviewerSign-off on content
CreatorDraft and edit, no billing
ViewerRead without changing state

Slash Social supports entity-scoped role editors for brands, pillars, and campaigns when your access allows. Plan entitlements can still gate features even when a role would otherwise permit an action.

Supported personas for this feature: admin, creator, and approver.

How to use it

  1. Type /social and open Settings.
  2. Open Roles & Permissions under Billing/Admin.
  3. Open Team from Settings for the combined team modal when you need a single team view.
  4. Assign or change roles at the org level or on a specific brand, pillar, or campaign.

To verify assignments, ask a teammate to open App Home and confirm they see only the work their role allows. After you change a role, confirm the teammate’s visible cards and quick actions update on refresh.

Persona detection runs from roles on the active brand. A user with multiple roles receives a capabilities set that drives what content appears; the primary persona drives layout ordering. Role changes take effect after App Home refreshes.
