Users & Roles

Zinklar gives your team the power to create as many users as you need and assign them the right level of permissions — from admins of the account to viewers of the insights you create.

Roles and Permissions

The users within a company will have the following main permissions:

  • Owner: There can be only one owner per company, and they can transfer ownership, improve plan/ask for balance, invite new members, manage users, and launch/edit projects.
  • Admin: They can manage users, invite new members, and launch/edit projects.
  • Launcher: They can launch/edit projects.
  • Editor: They can edit projects, but they can’t launch them.
  • Viewer: They only have view permissions.

Further details of each role’s permissions can be seen in the table below.

Managing your Company Users

If you are the only user of your company, you will automatically become the owner of your account, and you will have the most complete set of permissions.

Before starting to create new users, you will need to make sure that the details of your company are complete. Please go to the account page and fill in all relevant data. Please note that other users will not be able to launch new projects until all the required information is complete.

The next step is to define users. Owners and admins of the account will see a tab called “Users” as soon as the information in the “Company” tab is complete. In this tab, owners and admins can:

  • Invite new users:
    Owners and admins are the ones with permission to invite new users, assigning them the right role. To do it, they just need to click on the “Invite user” button, add the e-mail address of the new user and select the desired role. Once this is performed, the new user will receive an e-mail invitation to join the company on the Zinklar platform.
  • Transfer ownership:
    Current owners can assign ownership to someone else within the company by clicking on the “Transfer Ownership” button. Once the ownership is transferred, the previous owner will automatically become admin of the company.
  • Remove users:
    Owners and admins can remove users. Please note that users who have ownership of the platform can’t be removed until they transfer the ownership to someone else.
  • Edit users and their roles

Balance, Plans and Premium Features

All these elements will be managed now at the company level instead of at the user level.

All projects launched by the approved users will be deducted from the company balance. The owner will have full visibility of the remaining balance at any time to manage costs according to the business needs. Only the owner of the company can ask for a new plan (so the button for that will be disabled for any other role).

All company users with permissions to edit or launch projects will benefit as well from any premium features within the contract. E.g. If Video Answers has been included in the package, all users with the right permission will have access to this premium feature to be used in connection with the projects they work on.
