Roles and permissions
Kissflow supports the following roles to facilitate dataset sharing:
Dataset Admin
A Dataset Admin has the highest privilege in a dataset and anyone who creates a dataset becomes its Administrator i.e. Admin by default.
A Dataset Admin can:
- create, edit, and delete datasets and dataset views
- add or remove flow members in a dataset and assign relevant roles to them
- access the dataset history
- add or remove rows and columns in a dataset
- modify the role of flow members to an Admin, a Member, or a Viewer as necessary without any restrictions
Yes, if the Dataset Admin is also a Super Admin at the account level, they will be able to access anyone's dataset, access its share settings, make themselves an Admin or any role of their choice.
Dataset Member
The permissions granted to a Dataset Member are relatively restricted when compared to the Admin and they can:
- modify the values of a dataset
- add or remove rows in a dataset
- duplicate a dataset
- create, edit, and delete the dataset views they own
- make another flow member a Dataset Member or a Viewer only .ie. They cannot make anyone an Admin or modify/delete the already existing Admins in a dataset.
Dataset Viewer
A Dataset Viewer has the least set of privileges comparatively. They can only:
- view a dataset
- export the dataset
- filter values in the dataset
They can make themselves an Admin/Member/Viewer in the dataset they access via their Super Admin privilege and perform relevant actions as they wish.
