Examples of roles and user permissions

In this article we provide you with examples of suitable roles and user permissions to be assigned to employees and admins.

Written by Sanne Lodders

In Oneteam, you can assign specific roles and permissions to managers. You do this in the organisation dashboard and within communities. This way, everyone gets only the permissions they need for their work.

Below you'll find commonly used role examples. Every organisation is different, so you'll adapt these to fit your needs.

Organisation roles

These are roles you assign in the organisation dashboard.

Academy Manager

An Academy Manager creates Welcome packages and E-learnings. You give this role access only to Academy. This is useful if you have an external partner who handles training but shouldn't access other parts of Oneteam.

Communication Manager

A Communication Manager handles organisation messages. You give this role access to 'Organisation messages management' so they can create, view, and delete messages. They don't have access to other settings or staff management.

Community Manager

A Community Manager manages your communities from the organisation dashboard. This role can adjust groups, assign managers, and change settings across all communities. It's perfect if you have someone who coordinates the day-to-day running of communities.

HR Manager

An HR Manager manages staff. You can give this role access to 'Staff management' and optionally 'Organisation group management', so they can add, edit, and remove staff, and manage organisation groups.

Community roles

These are roles you assign within a community.


Schedule Manager

A Schedule Manager creates and edits schedules. You can expand this role with 'Flexchange management' so this person can also approve or reject shift swaps.

Team lead

A Team lead often has multiple permissions: 'Colleague management' (add and remove staff), 'Flexchange management' (approve shift swaps), and 'Onboarding management' (view statistics and follow up with staff).

Key-user

Key-users are early adopters who share useful information on the timeline. This helps drive adoption and engagement. You give this role only what they need: mark messages as important, edit messages, view statistics, and manage communications.
