Who sees what
is your decision.

You invite your team by e-mail and split them into teams. For every permission you pick a scope: only their own records, their team’s, or all of them.

Team and permission features

From sending the invitation to picking the scope, all inside Workinno.

01

Three levels of scope

For every permission you also pick a scope: only their own records, their team’s records, or all of them. The same task list is therefore a different length from person to person. Because the scope is a separate setting, you can say “let them see, but not everything”.

Four ready roles

A workspace opens with the Owner, Admin, Staff and Guest roles. Someone who joins takes the Staff role by default. Because the roles come ready, you do not build permissions on day one.

Build your own roles

When the ready roles are not enough, you define your own. You can also copy a role and change it. Once a role is set up, it goes to everyone doing that job with a single click.

Permission matrix

You see every role and every permission side by side in one table. What a role reaches and what its scope is are read on the same line. Because the table holds together, you understand the difference between two roles by comparing them.

Teams

You split your people into teams and match projects with teams. When you pick the team scope, a person sees their own team’s work. Because the team is defined, you do not count the scope person by person.

Every team can have a lead

Every team can have a lead. The lead manages the team's members and edits the team itself; an administrator hands the role to someone else when it changes. Who is responsible for a team is right there in the list.

Invitation by e-mail

You invite a new colleague by e-mail address and a link goes out to them. Whoever opens the link sets their own password and joins the workspace. Because the invitation comes as a link, you do not create the account yourself.

Permissions include one another

When you grant the right to change a record, the right to view it comes with it. You do not tick the lower rights one by one. Because the chain builds itself, the “I cannot reach it” case caused by a missing permission grows rarer.

Department and team are different

Departments hold the org chart: who sits where and who manages whom. Teams carry permission scope; the team scope decides which records a person sees. Naming a department manager shows on the chart but grants no extra permission.

Dangerous permissions are marked

Some permissions change the whole workspace: the address, billing or deletion. Those carry a warning label while you build the role. You see what you are handing over before you hand it over.

Closing access

You close the access of a departing colleague from one place. The person stays on the list but cannot enter the workspace. Because access hangs on one switch, you do not collect permissions module by module.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does scope mean?

It is how much a permission covers: only the person’s own records, their team’s records, or all of them. The same permission shows different lists under a different scope.

Which roles come ready?

Owner, Admin, Staff and Guest. Someone who joins takes the Staff role by default.

Can I define my own role?

You can. You build one from scratch or copy an existing role and change it.

Can I see all the permissions together?

You can. The permission matrix shows roles and permissions side by side in one table, with the scope on the same line.

What is a team for?

It groups people and matches with projects. When you pick the team scope, a person sees their own team’s work.

How do I add a new colleague?

You send an invitation to their e-mail address. They open the link, set their own password and join.

If I grant the change right, do I also need viewing?

You do not. When the change right is granted, viewing opens by itself.

What happens to a departing colleague’s records?

Their records stay in the workspace. Only the person’s access is closed.

LAST STEP

Let everyone see their own work.

Invite your team, set the roles and the scopes. Nobody sees what they should not.
