In Atono, roles and permissions help you control who can do what—without adding unnecessary complexity. This guide shows you how to manage access across your workspace, so the right people have what they need to get things done.

Types of roles

There are currently two user roles in Atono:

• Administrators: Users with full workspace management privileges.
• Standard Users: Users with permissions for day-to-day tasks.

Standard users are granted additional permissions when they're part of a team, a team admin, or assigned specific permissions for feature flags.

Workspace administrators

Administrators have global permissions in Atono. Tasks that require Administer privileges include the ability to:

• Manage workspace settings
• Add or remove other Administrators
• Enable or disable the Slack integration for the workspace
• Update or delete users (Administrators cannot delete themselves)
• Edit or delete other users' comments from a story or bug

Standard users

The Standard User role is for most users in Atono. Standard users can perform these tasks without any additional permissions:

• Update their name in their user profile
• Create teams
• Add and remove members from any public team
• View public team backlogs
• Create, modify, and delete stories and bugs on public team backlogs
• Add, accept, and reject comments on stories and bugs on public team backlogs
• Create and add feature flags to stories on public team backlogs
• Mark stories or bugs on public team backlogs as outliers and remove outlier status
• Triage bugs
• Opt themselves into the Slack integration (if it's enabled for the workspace)
• Show or hide estimated completion dates on items in the 'To do' category of public team backlogs

Change a user’s role

As a workspace Administrator, you have the ability to adjust a user's role, assigning them as either a Standard User or Administrator. This ensures each person has the right access level to contribute effectively.

1. Open the user's profile.
2. Click the ellipses (...) icon at the top of the profile.
3. Depending on the user’s current role, click either Assign Standard user role or Assign Administrator role.
4. In the confirmation dialog, confirm that you want to change the user's role, or click X to cancel.
