Admin vs. User: Understanding platform roles and permissions

Created by Randy Warner, Modified on Thu, 16 Apr at 1:02 AM by Timothy Denker

For this to apply, you will need:

  • An active MyRelayHQ account with multiple users.

  • Access to the User Management section of the dashboard (typically reserved for the Account Owner or existing Admins).




Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Log in to the MyRelayHQ dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Company > Users to view the current users assigned to the Company.

  3. Review the permission levels below to determine which role is appropriate for each team member:

    • Admin Role: Provides full control over the specific company profile. Admins can add/remove users, change billing details, and initiate legal filings.

    • User Role: Provides "Read" access to core services. Users can view mail and download documents but cannot delete users or change the company’s primary service plan.

  4. To change a role, click the Edit button next to a user's name and select the new role from the Dropdown Menu.

  5. Click Save Changes.




What to expect: Role changes take effect immediately upon the user's next page refresh or login. A user downgraded from Admin to User will immediately lose access to the "Billing" and "User Management" tabs. This is expected behavior for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), not a guarantee of total data isolation if the user has already downloaded sensitive documents.
