Team & permissions

Add teammates and set permissions

Invite people into your company, assign roles, and understand what each role can do.

Fahsai grants permissions by role rather than per person. There are three default roles — Admin, Agent and Viewer — and a company can also define its own roles with a custom set of permissions.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1

    Invite a teammate by email

    On the team page, start a new invitation, enter the person's email address and pick the role they should have. Fahsai sends the invitation to that address.

    TipYou can invite several people at once, but set the correct role while inviting so you do not have to fix it afterwards.

  2. Step 2

    Have them accept the invitation

    The invitee opens the email, follows the invitation link and sets their own password, after which they join your company automatically. Their status on the team page changes from pending to active.

    Heads upInvitation links expire. If one has lapsed, send a fresh invitation from the team page.

  3. Step 3

    Assign or change a role

    Open the member list and change someone role at any time. The new role governs what that person sees and can do from their next session onward.

    TipKeep at least two Admins so you are not locked out if one of them leaves or loses access.

  4. Step 4

    Create your own role when the three defaults are not enough

    If your team needs finer-grained access, create a new role and switch individual permissions on or off — for example a role that reads and replies but cannot assign cases, or one that sees reporting without seeing conversation content.

    TipName roles after the actual job on the team, such as Shift lead or Quality, rather than something generic — it makes assigning them far less error-prone.

  5. Step 5

    Review access regularly

    Go through the member list and their roles at least once a quarter. Remove people who have left, and lower the role of anyone whose responsibilities have changed.

What each role can do

This table shows the three default roles. Note that “read your own and your team conversations” and “see every inbox” are separate permissions — only an Admin sees every inbox; Agents and Viewers see just the ones they have been given access to. Companies can also create their own roles and choose each permission individually, so treat this table as the defaults rather than a fixed limit.

Admin
Full control over channels, team, roles and plan, and sees every inbox.
Agent
Works cases end to end, but only in the inboxes they have access to.
Viewer
Read-only. Sees just the inboxes it has been given access to, and changes nothing.
