Roles & Permissions tab

Learn how to control what users can access and manage in your organization

Written by Tania

The Roles & Permissions tab on the Organization page lets you define and control what users can do within your Reply organization. You can customize access levels for both organization-wide and workspace-specific activities.

In this article, we'll cover:

To access the Roles & Permissions tab:

  1. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner.

  2. Select Organization.

  3. Open the Roles & Permissions tab.

All existing roles are listed on the left. You can select a role to view and adjust its permissions.

There are three main role levels in an organization:

  • Organization Roles – control access and settings across the entire organization.

  • Multi-Workspace Roles – let you assign the same permissions across multiple workspaces at once.

  • Workspace Roles – manage permissions for a single workspace.

💡 If you need a user to have the same permissions in several workspaces, create a Multi-Workspace Role and assign it to them. If you only need to adjust access in one workspace, use Workspace Roles instead.


Organization Roles

Organization roles apply to the whole account. You can create or adjust these roles to manage who can access key administrative areas.

There are two types of organization permissions:
​Organization-level permissions and Organization object permissions.

Organization-level permissions allow users to perform specific actions, such as inviting members or editing workspaces. Organization object permissions give access to manage certain objects (like playbooks, templates, and custom fields) across the entire organization.

Add an Organization Role

To add an organization role:

  1. Click the + icon in the Organization Roles section.

  2. Enter a role name and click Create.

  3. Select the role to adjust its permissions, then click Save.

To rename or delete a role, click on the three dots next to it.

To assign an Organization Role to a specific user, go to the Users tab and update their role from there.


Multi-Workspace Roles

Multi-Workspace roles let you assign the same permissions to a user across several workspaces in one step. This is helpful when a person, for example, an account manager or senior SDR, needs identical access in all client teams.

You can manage multi-workspace roles just like workspace roles, but any changes you make will automatically apply to every workspace the role is assigned to.

To create a multi-workspace role:

  1. Click the + icon next to Multi-Workspace Roles on the left.

  2. Name the role and click Create.

  3. Select the role to set its permissions, then click Save. Multi-workspace roles have the same permission categories as Workspace Roles.

In order to assign a multi-workspace role to a user, navigate to the Users tab and add it from there.


Workspace Roles

Workspace roles define what team members can do inside a specific workspace.
Each workspace has its own set of roles - changes in one workspace won't affect the others.

Here are the available permissions for workspace and multi-workspace roles:

💡Tip: To give clients or external partners limited access, create a Reports-only role by enabling only the Reports permission.

To add a workspace role:

  1. Click the + icon next to your chosen workspace in the Workspace Roles section.

  2. Enter the role name and click Create.

  3. Select the role, enable or disable permissions as needed, and click Save.

Some permissions have extra options like Workspace or My to give you more control – for example, allowing users to manage only their own sequences.
