[Wishlist] User roles to access the Dashboard Not planned
[This post was migrated from our old community roadmap]
1) The problem → I would like to change the permissions under one team member, so it's not Admin (and loses access to billing and the team permissions), but I only get the Admin option in the dropdown.
2) Why is this important → I need support from a team or want to share with a client but don't want to give editing permissions to everyone.
3) What's your plan B → My current workaround is to have external spreadsheets automated for team members to look up.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → I think creating some roles and hiding information would be ideal.
Examples:
Admin - full access as it is currently;
Members: Access only to the members list (to review, edit and delete members). Useful to have someone monitoring who sign up, if there are spam accounts, etc. (hides billing + invite + memberships + sales forms and fields, power-ups, design);
Members + Sales: Access to Members and Sales + Coupons (hides billing + invite + memberships, forms and fields, power-ups, design)
Builder - Access to everything except billing and invite
Billing - Access only to billing

No ETA at this time. We would likely add very limited role types such as View-only or Member Management
Memberstack User Roles / Permissions
As I use Memberstack for multiple corporations, I want members off those corporations to access the Memberstack account in order to manage the members. I don't want them to be able to access the setup and the payments.
I'm building a single platform that will cater to multiple corporations who each need their own environment. Each corporation has an account manager in charge of letting people become a member or remove them. Right now, if we give someone access to the Memberstack account, they can access all parts of the Memberstack account.. Including the payments where they themselves pay for.

Im just thinking through when handover to he client (who are zero tech savvy) and thought it would be good to strip away any non-essentials form the MS ui ie. components, dev tools, permissions etc and/or hide them in menu that they could access if need be.
Just to leave them with a simple data-base management tool.

interesting idea! Would a new team member role with limited permissions work for this?
Dave
Yeah – this would do it.
But im considering the fact that, some owners will only act only as editors and member management but will also be owners/admin/bill-payers.
So I see case for show/hide certain functionality under permission types.
As they will be onwer/admins/bill payers but also will never interact with building components directly - and therefore the ability to also show/hide non-essentials in a menu may be a way to combat that…
This creates a serious internal security problem.
I have a lot of people who need access to Memberstack. Our base will grow to over 100,000 members quickly, we are only in the testing phase.
This may prevent me from continuing to use Memberstack at my company
Hi Rafael JK, thanks for taking the time to explain.
If you could have 1 additional team member role, what permissions would you want them to have? i.e. can only access the members page.
This issue was raised 2 years ago. How has Memberstack not fixed this yet? It's pretty standard to have permission options for additional team members.
Hey JS 👋 We're actually working on this now.
Same question as Tyler asked above "If you could have 1 additional team member role, what permissions would you want them to have? i.e. can only access the members page. "
Hey Duncan, thanks for your message. Great to see a quick response too!
Is this a matter of days, weeks or months? It would be great to know what timeline is being worked towards.
Thank you
Hey J S
I totally get why you're asking, but we've been burned too many times trying to estimate. It could be weeks, but if something urgent comes up or if we hit a blocker it may not happen. That said, feel free to check in anytime.
Right now we have designs and some backend work has been completed. Next step is to implement changes to the front-end. Currently scheduled for... early Feb.
Hi Team,
My dispute analyst needs access to view authentication data in memberstack. I'm not willing to make a new contractor admin. A view only team member would be extremely useful in this circumstance!
Hey Dominic 👋
Good news! We are almost ready to release a new view-only type of team member. It's in development now.
