Use the Owner, Admin, Team Leader, and Chatter roles to control workspace, content, messaging, analytics, and billing access.

Overview

Team access is determined by both role and bot assignment. The Roles view shows the current permission matrix across Workspace, Team, Bots & content, Messaging, Analytics, and Billing.

  • Choose the correct role for each type of work.
  • Understand why an assigned bot does not grant every management action.
  • Use the live Roles matrix as the reference for access questions.

Before you start

  • Open the workspace in which the member, bot assignments, and shifts should live.
  • Confirm your current role allows the team action you intend to perform.
  • Use an active chatter membership before creating or editing a chatter schedule.

Step by step

  1. Open Team and select Roles.
  2. Find the action in its permission domain instead of assuming access from the role name alone.
  3. Compare the columns for Owner, Admin, Team Leader, and Chatter.
  4. Review the member's assigned bots when an action is limited to a bot scope.
  5. Test the intended workflow with the member before assigning live fan coverage.

How it works

These are the product rules and states that matter for this workflow.

What to knowTelestars behavior
OwnerHas the broadest workspace authority and is the only role that cannot be assigned through a normal invitation.
AdminCan manage team roles and workspace operations within the permissions shown in the matrix.
Team LeaderCan supervise permitted conversations, invite chatters, assign bots within scope, and manage chatter shifts.
ChatterCan use the Fan Inbox and assigned bot scope, while management and supervision actions remain restricted.

Verify the result

  • The member role and assigned bots match the intended operating scope.
  • The weekly schedule is shown in the workspace timezone, including any overnight end time.
  • Invitations, role changes, assignments, and schedule changes appear in the appropriate team view.

Troubleshooting

If you see thisWhat to check
A team action is missingReview the Roles matrix and confirm your role can manage the target member and action.
A chatter cannot find a botCheck the chatter membership is active and that the bot is assigned in Team.
A shift is classified unexpectedlyCompare the clock-in time, workspace timezone, and scheduled slot shown for that day.

Best practice

Treat the live Roles matrix as authoritative. A job title outside Telestars does not change the permissions attached to a Telestars role.
