In WooChat, user access and operational capabilities are managed through a structured system of roles and permissions. The platform provides three default roles:
Member: The basic access level for regular users.
Owner: The highest access level, providing complete control over the platform and its settings.
Admin: A middle ground between Member and Owner, offering significant rights but not full control.
These roles come with predetermined and fixed permissions to ensure consistency across the platform. However, WooChat also supports the creation of custom roles to better meet the needs of different businesses.
Feature Permissions for Default Roles
This table outlines the access permissions for various WooChat features according to the user roles: Owner, Admin, and Member.
Owners
have full access to all features, including managing the home screen, conversations, contacts, companies, bots, broadcasts, configurations, the dashboard, canned responses, message tracking, field collections, tags, WhatsApp channels, webhooks, API keys, activity logs, account details, and subscription management (if applicable).
Admins
share most of the Owner's privileges but may not have access to certain critical functionalities like modifying account details or subscription plans (depending on the setup). They can typically manage the home screen, conversations, contacts, companies, bots, broadcasts, configurations, the dashboard, canned responses, message tracking, field collections, tags, WhatsApp channels, webhooks, API keys, and activity logs.
Members
generally have the most limited access and may be restricted from viewing or modifying core settings. Their access might include functionalities related to conversations, contacts (potentially with limited editing capabilities), and possibly some basic features like field collections and tags.
