What each role needs. Nothing more.

Three roles under the owner: Admin, Supervisor and Agent. You choose what each one can do.

Rules per action, for each role

For each action, choose which chats a role covers: all chats, new unassigned chats, a colleague’s chats or only their own.

Phone numbers stay with you

Hide customers’ phone numbers from a role. They can still reply in the chat.

The owner can’t be limited

Admins and Supervisors only change the rules of the roles below them.

Rules for each number

Each WhatsApp number has its own rules, so a role can do more on one number than on another.

Groups have their own rules

Choose who can create groups and which group chats each role can see and reply to.

Set it once per role.

Everyone in that role follows the rules on that number, today and every new hire after.

  1. Give everyone a role

    Add each person to your team as an Admin, a Supervisor or an Agent. The owner always keeps full access.

  2. Open Permissions

    In your WhatsApp number’s settings, open Permissions. Each number has its own rules.

  3. Choose what each role can do

    One column per role, one row per action. For each, pick all chats, new unassigned chats, a colleague’s chats or only their own.

  4. Save

    The rules apply to everyone in that role on this number. Nothing in your inbox is deleted or moved.

Questions about team permissions

Which plan includes team permissions?

Enterprise, from $99.90 a month. It includes 9 agents. Each extra agent is $14 a month. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, with no credit card.

Do I set permissions for each person or for each role?

For each role: Admin, Supervisor and Agent. Everyone in a role gets its rules, so a new hire is set up the moment you give them a role. Each WhatsApp number has its own rules.

Can I create my own roles?

No. There are three roles under the owner: Admin, Supervisor and Agent. You decide what each of them can do.

Can I limit the owner or an Admin?

The account owner always has full access and can’t be limited. The owner sets the Admins’ rules. Admins and Supervisors can only change the rules of the roles below them.

Can I hide customers’ phone numbers?

Yes. Choose whether each role sees phone numbers in every chat, in new unassigned chats, in colleagues’ chats or only in their own. Someone who can’t see the number can still reply in the chat.

Do permissions work in WhatsApp groups?

Yes. Groups have their own rules: who can create groups, and which group chats each role can see, read and reply to.

How do permissions work with departments and auto-assignment?

Departments and auto-assignment decide where a chat goes and who has it. Permissions decide what everyone else can do with it.

Do permissions also limit the API?

Not the read and show rules. They control what the inbox shows: a team member of the number can still reach its chats and messages through the API. Exports, search and file access are checked on our servers. If some people must never reach certain conversations, give those conversations their own WhatsApp number.

What happens to my chats when I change a rule?

Nothing is deleted or moved. A rule only changes what each person can see and do from then on, and you can change it back at any time.
