Manage flag roles

🚧

Important

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

Flag roles

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

• Admin – Can manage flag role's for other collaborators and perform all Editor actions.
• Editor – Viewer permissions plus the following:
  • Can publish rules or edit published rules. To edit or publish rules in a specific environment, you must also have a Publisher environment role.
  • Can edit unpublished flag rules. To edit unpublished rules in a specific environment, you must also have an Editor environment role.
  • Can create variables and variations and adjust flag settings. To view rules in a specific environment, you must also have a Viewer environment role.
• Viewer – Can view the flag and its settings. To view rules in a specific environment, you must also have a Viewer environment role.
• None – Cannot view the flag or its contents.

Note

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

When a collaborator creates a flag, they are automatically assigned the Admin role for that flag. To create a flag, 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.
