FuseIQ uses a 4-tier role system to control what each team member can see and do. Roles are assigned when you invite a user and can be changed later by Directors.
Role Hierarchy
👑 Director
Full control. Can manage billing, invite any role, change roles, and delete the workspace.
- Access to all pages (Billing, Team, Approvals, Settings)
- Can invite Directors, Managers, Members, Viewers
- Can edit/delete any agent or workflow
- Can manage API keys and provider settings
- Can view audit logs and cost reports
⚙️ Manager
Team lead access. Can manage agents and workflows but cannot access billing or invite Directors.
- Access to Agents, Swarm, Operations, Comms, Analytics, Staff
- Can invite Managers and Members only
- Can edit/delete agents they created
- Cannot access Billing or Team admin pages
🧑💻 Member
Standard user. Can interact with agents and participate in comms but has no admin access.
- Access to Agents, Operations, Comms, Analytics (read-only), Staff
- Cannot invite new users
- Cannot create/edit agents (read-only)

👁️ Viewer

Changing Roles
1
Go to Team → Members
2
Click the role badge next to a member
3
Select the new role from the dropdown
4
Confirm — changes take effect immediately
⚠️
Only Directors can promote someone to Director. Managers can only invite up to Manager level.
Sidebar Visibility by Role
The sidebar automatically hides pages you don't have access to:
- Director — sees all 12 pages
- Manager — hides Billing
- Member — hides Billing, Approvals, Team admin, Marketplace
- Viewer — sees only Staff and Comms
💡
Viewers are perfect for external clients who need to monitor progress without accidental changes. They can see your Staff Directory and read Comms messages in real time.
