How to use this page

This matrix is designed for brand owners and organization admins who need to build or troubleshoot roles.
  • Use the capability column to find the behavior you want.
  • Use the permission column to configure the role in Settings > Roles > Manage Permissions (Organization roles). The key pages.update is the Update box on the Pages row.
  • Also verify the related module is enabled for the brand.

Core rules

  • *.view usually controls whether a user can open a section or list.
  • *.create controls creation flows.
  • *.update controls edits, state changes, and many operational actions.
  • *.delete controls destructive actions.
  • *.export controls exports where supported.
  • Metrics are separate from feature permissions.

Common capability matrix

The Manage Permissions grid where these permissions are ticked: one row per area with View, Create, Update, Delete and Full Access

Billing access

Step by step, with a finance example: Give someone Billing.

Metrics access matrix

The Manage Metrics window where metric keys are ticked by name, grouped by type Metrics are assigned separately from page permissions. Examples of metric keys include:
  • revenue
  • sales
  • net_revenue
  • conversion_rate
  • refund_total

Conversions-only viewer

  • conversions.view
  • selected metrics if you want dashboard visibility

Customers-only viewer

  • customers.view
  • customers.export only if export is required
  • selected metrics only if you want dashboard analytics

Reports reader

  • reports.view
  • report-specific permissions such as conversions.view, customers.view, tracking.view, or reports.utm_performance.view
  • selected metrics if the dashboard should also be visible

Operations user

  • conversions.view
  • conversions.update
  • optionally integrations.view if they should inspect integration setup
  • optionally merchants.view if they need merchant settings or merchant-based selectors

Important differences to remember

  • Feature permissions decide what pages and actions a user can access.
  • Metrics decide whether analytics widgets and dashboard numbers appear.
  • A user may be able to view Fulfillment without being able to view Integrations.
  • A user may see Reports but only be allowed into a subset of report pages.

Next step

If a role still behaves unexpectedly, use Restricted Role Troubleshooting. For worked examples (finance, support, fulfillment, media buyer), see Organization roles.
