Role Permissions

Manage your team users' roles and permissions.

On the Role Permissions page, you can view roles existing in your TextPeak account and add new ones. To access the page, log in to TextPeak in your browser with manager access privileges and expand Users in the main menu, then click Role Permissions.​

In TextPeak, the roles and permissions are divided into two sections, accessible via the Platform and Inbox tabs. Every user can hold one or two distinct roles, one for each section.
