Custom roles

When the built-in roles are not enough, you can create a role just for your team: for example an "Announcer" who can only post announcements, or a "Chapter Lead" who can create and delete chapters. A custom role carries the permissions you pick; you give it to a member from the Members page.

Where to find it

In the left menu, under Management, open Roles. The page has three sections:

• Permission Roles: the system's built-in permission roles (such as Fansub Yöneticisi and Fansub Görevlisi). They cannot be changed here.
• System Display Roles: task badges such as translator or typesetter. They grant no permissions; who works on which step is decided by assignment (see Step assignments).
• Custom Roles: roles your team created. These are the only ones you can edit and delete.

For all role types and who can do what, see Roles and permissions.

Step by step: a new role

1. On the Roles page, click New Role.
2. Enter a Role Name (up to 50 characters). Description is optional.
3. Priority (1-99) sets the role's position in lists; a higher priority sits higher. The default is 10.
4. Optionally pick a role under Template Role (Optional): its permissions get ticked. If you then change a box, the template choice is cleared and whatever is ticked gets saved.
5. Tick what the role can do in the Permissions list.
6. Click Create in the save bar at the bottom.

To give the role to a member: Members → the member's ⋮ menu → Edit Roles (see Members and invitations).

Permissions you can pick

The list only shows permissions that are actually enforced:

• Team: Manage Fansub, Invite Members, Remove Members
• Role: Create Roles, Edit Roles, Delete Roles
• Series: Create Series, Edit Series, Delete Series, Assign Series Roles
• Chapter: Create Chapters, Edit Chapters, Delete Chapters, Reset Chapters
• Workflow: View Workflow Status, Update Workflow Status
• File: Download Files
• Team Hub: Manage Announcements, Manage Team Assets
• Chat: Read Chat, Write in Chat, Mention Everyone (@all)

Create Chapters can also be granted for a single series: Series → Team → Manage → Chapter creation permission.

Editing and deleting

• The pencil on a custom role's card opens Edit Role; you can change the name, description, priority and permissions.
• The bin icon deletes the role. A role in use cannot be deleted: if members, series assignments or pending invitations use it, you are told so. Give those people another role first; otherwise deleting the role would also remove them from the team.
• System roles (permission roles and task badges) cannot be edited or deleted from the team panel.

Who can do this

• The Roles page and new roles: the team owner, Fansub Yöneticisi (admin) and anyone with Create Roles (role.create).
• Editing: owner, admins and Edit Roles (role.edit); deleting: owner, admins and Delete Roles (role.delete).
• Someone who is not the owner or an admin cannot put a permission they do not hold into a role. That way nobody can create a more powerful role and promote themselves.

Good to know

• With a Public invitation link, the person joining can only pick one of the system task badges; custom roles are not listed there.
• Permissions add up: a member with several roles has the permissions of all of them together.
