New access control roles: viewer and team admin

You can now use two new roles to control who can edit Swarmia settings in your organization: viewer and team admin.

The viewer role is perfect for team members who need visibility into engineering work but shouldn’t make configuration changes. Viewers can access all insights and reports (excluding software capitalization) but can’t manage teams, configure team settings, or create working agreements or initiatives.

The team admin role is intended for team leads and managers who need to configure settings for their specific teams without needing full admin access to the entire organization.

As part of the update, the current member role is renamed to editor to reflect the broad permissions better. No existing user permissions were changed.

These new roles make it easier to give the right level of access to everyone in your organization without having to worry about accidental changes to your Swarmia setup.

To assign the viewer role to users, navigate to settings → teams & members → roles. To assign team admins for specific teams, go to settings → teams & members → open a team.
