How to change a platform role

Follow these steps to assign a role to a user. You can find more information below on how to give somebody an Admin role.

  1. Open the Moss platform.

  2. Select "User management" > Go to the tab "Users" > Select a user

  3. In the section "Roles & permissions" in the row "Role" click on "Edit"

  4. Select the role you want to give the user and save

How to give users the "Admin" role

Admins can now grant admin role to other users directly from 'Settings' → 'Users' with no need to contact support.

Requirements:

  • You must be an Admin

  • You must have the Moss mobile app activated

  • At least 1 business day must have passed since your last mobile app activation (security cooldown)

Steps:

  1. Select 'User management' > go to the 'Users' tab

  2. Select the user you want to give the Admin role

  3. In the section "Roles & permissions" in the row "Role" click on "Edit"

  4. Select the 'Admin' role and save

  5. Confirm the action on your mobile app using your PIN

  6. Done. The user now has Admin access

What happens after:

  • The promoted user receives an email and push notification confirming their new role

  • You (the acting admin) receive a confirmation email

  • Other admins in your organisation will see a summary in the 'Updates' panel on the dashboard

Security note: If you receive an email saying an admin role was granted from your account and you did not perform this action, contact support immediately at support@getmoss.com.

How to remove the "Admin" role

Removing the Admin role (admin → user) is currently not available as a self-serve action. If you need to change an admin back to a regular user, please contact us at support@getmoss.com.
