fsckmsft uses role-based access control to make sure everyone on your team has exactly the access they need — no more, no less. Every workspace member holds one role, and that role determines what they can see, create, edit, and delete across the platform.

​
Built-in roles

There are three built-in roles: Owner, Admin, and Member. Every workspace has exactly one Owner (the person who created it), any number of Admins, and any number of Members.

​
Owner

The Owner has unrestricted access to every part of the workspace. Each workspace has exactly one Owner — the account that originally created the organization. Ownership can be transferred to another member, but not shared. The Owner is the only person who can delete the organization permanently.

​
Admin

Admins can do almost everything an Owner can do: invite and remove teammates, manage integrations, adjust billing, and edit organization settings. The key things Admins cannot do are transfer ownership, delete the entire organization, and manage custom roles. Use the Admin role for team leads and IT administrators who need broad operational access.

​
Member

Members are standard contributors. They can work freely inside projects — creating tasks, editing content, leaving comments, and using automations — but they have no access to workspace-level settings, billing, or member management. This is the right default role for most teammates.
When in doubt, start someone as a Member. You can always promote them to Admin later from Settings → Members without any disruption to their work.

​
Custom roles

Custom roles are available on the Business plan only. On Free and Pro plans, all members use one of the three built-in roles.
If your organization needs more granular control — for example, a role that can manage integrations but not billing, or a role that can view (but not edit) all projects — you can create custom roles on the Business plan.

​
Create a custom role

1

Open Settings

Click your organization name in the top-left and select Settings.
2

Go to Roles

In the left sidebar, click Roles & permissions.
3

Create a new role

Click New role, give it a descriptive name (for example, Billing Viewer or Project Reviewer), and choose a base template to start from — Admin or Member.
4

Configure permissions

Toggle individual permissions on or off. Hover over any permission to see a plain-English description of what it controls.
5

Save and assign

Click Save role. The new role now appears in the role dropdown when inviting teammates or editing an existing member’s role.

​
Edit or delete a custom role

To edit an existing custom role, return to Settings → Roles & permissions, click the role name, adjust the permissions, and save. Changes take effect immediately for all members currently holding that role. To delete a custom role, click ⋯ next to the role and select Delete role. You’ll be asked to reassign all current holders to a different role before the deletion completes.
Deleting a custom role reassigns all current holders to the fallback role you choose. Plan this change carefully to avoid accidentally granting or removing access for a large group of people.

​
Change a member’s role

1

Open Settings → Members

Navigate to Settings → Members from the workspace sidebar.
2

Find the member

Use the search box to locate the member you want to update.
3

Change their role

Click the role badge next to their name. A dropdown lists all available roles — built-in and custom. Select the new role and confirm.
The change takes effect the next time the member loads or refreshes a page in fsckmsft.

​
Transfer ownership

Only the current Owner can transfer workspace ownership to another member.
1

Open Settings → Members

Go to Settings → Members.
2

Find the intended new owner

The new owner must already be a member of the workspace. Use search to find them.
3

Transfer ownership

Click ⋯ next to their name and select Transfer ownership. Review the confirmation prompt — it clearly states that you will become an Admin after the transfer — then confirm.
Transferring ownership immediately demotes your account to Admin. The action cannot be undone without the new owner’s cooperation.
