Manage environment roles

🚧

Important

Before managing environment roles, you must understand the Interactions between environment and flag roles.

Environment roles

You can assign the following environment roles to a user or team:

• Admin – Can change environment-level permissions for other collaborators and perform all Publisher actions.
• Publisher – Can publish and edit flag rules in the environment, plus all Editor permissions. Requires an Editor flag role to modify rules for specific flags.
• Editor – Can edit unpublished flag rules in the environment, plus all Viewer permissions. Requires an Editor flag role to modify rules for specific flags.
• Viewer – Can view the environment, its settings, and the flag rules within it. Requires a Viewer flag role to view a flag's rules.

Note

The project role sets default access, but any environment- or flag-level permissions override it.

To create a flag or audience, a collaborator must have Editor or Admin access in at least one environment. For example, a collaborator with the Viewer project role can still create flags if they are granted elevated environment-level access.

1. Go to Settings > Environments.

2. For the environment you want to adjust the role permissions, select More Options (...) > Manage Permissions.

   You cannot edit the flag role permissions for Administrators and Project Owners.
