DreamFlow uses a four-level role hierarchy to control access across your workspace. Each role builds on the one below it, so higher roles inherit all permissions from lower roles.
Role Hierarchy
| Role | Level | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | 4 (highest) | Full control including billing, data deletion, and ownership transfer |
| Admin | 3 | Full operational control. Cannot access billing or transfer ownership |
| Manager | 2 | Manages contacts, deals, campaigns, and tasks. Cannot change settings or team |
| Member | 1 (lowest) | Works with assigned records. Read-only for most settings |
Detailed Permission Matrix
CRM (Contacts, Deals, Tasks)
- Member: View and edit contacts/deals assigned to them. Create tasks.
- Manager: View and edit all contacts/deals. Reassign ownership. Delete records.
- Admin: All manager permissions plus bulk operations and data export.
- Owner: All admin permissions plus permanent deletion (bypasses trash/soft-delete).
Marketing (Campaigns, Sequences, Forms)
- Member: View campaigns. Cannot create or send.
- Manager: Create, edit, and send campaigns and sequences. Manage forms.
- Admin: All manager permissions plus manage segments and deliverability settings.
- Owner: Same as admin.
Settings and Team
- Member: View own profile. Cannot access workspace settings.
- Manager: View settings (read-only). Cannot invite or remove team members.
- Admin: Edit all settings. Invite and remove members (except Owner). Manage integrations.
- Owner: All admin permissions plus billing, plan changes, and ownership transfer.
Automations
- Member: Cannot access automations.
- Manager: View automations (read-only).
- Admin: Create, edit, activate, and deactivate automations.
- Owner: Same as admin.
Tip: Start team members at the Member role and promote as needed. It is easier to grant permissions than to discover someone accidentally deleted records.
