User roles

Overview

Hi there! 👋 On March 9th, 2024, we introduced user roles to HCB. This new feature allows restricting certain critical actions on HCB to a specific group of users, enhancing security and control over sensitive operations.

Now, in an organization on HCB, users can have one of three roles: manager, member, or reader. When you're inviting a user, you may select the role they receive.

The TL;DR is:

Managers can do everything (just like before).
Members can spend, but not send money, and can't edit the organization's settings.
Readers have read-only access to an organization.

By default, your permissions have not changed

All existing users are now managers.
