Roles & permissions

A role is a named set of permissions. Each person in your organization has one role. You manage roles in Organization → Roles: give the role a name, then tick its permissions.

Launch and strategy permissions

Permission	In plain words
launch.read	See your launch page, business identity and brand kit. People with this permission also get the daily email about new items that need attention.
launch.write	Act on the launch: press I've done it — check now, Ask Spark to do it, edit your business identity and brand kit, and finish launch setup.
verification.documents	See and download verification documents. Uploading or deleting a document also needs launch.write. People without it do not see the documents area at all.
strategy.read	See your strategy, its versions and the monitor.
strategy.write	Answer and edit the strategy steps, ask for suggestions, start the monthly review.
strategy.approve	Approve the strategy, or withdraw an approval.

Rolling out

The three strategy permissions come with the strategy workspace, which is being rolled out now.

Who has them at the start

• Your organization's top admin role gets all six permissions automatically.
• Other roles get none of them until an admin adds them.

Suggested set-ups

• Owner or manager: all six.
• Marketing helper: launch.read, launch.write, strategy.read, strategy.write. They can prepare everything; the owner approves.
• Viewer: launch.read and strategy.read only.
• Give verification.documents only to people who must handle official papers.

TIP

Spark staff can see your launch so they can help, but they can never approve your strategy for you.
