Understanding the different roles and permissions in Embeddables
In your workspace, each user is assigned two key attributes that determine what they can do and what data they can access:
Summary of Roles & Permissions
Role
: Controls editing, publishing, and management capabilities.
Admin
: Full editing and publishing access.
Publisher
: Can save and push Embeddables live.
Editor
: Can save Embeddables, but
cannot
push them live.
Data Access Level
: Controls what end-user data the person can see.
Data Privacy Officer
: Full access to all end-user data.
Full Data Access
: Can access all end-user data, including personally identifiable information (PII/PHI).
Anonymized Data Access
: Can only access anonymized data - end-user’s personally identifiable + health info is hidden.
How to change roles & permissions
You must be an
Admin
to change roles & permissions.
To change a user’s Role or Data Access Level:
Navigate to the
Settings
page in the sidebar.
Select the
Team
tab.
Find the user you want to update in the table.
Use the dropdowns to change the user’s Role and Data Access Level.
Full Guide to Roles & Permissions
1. Roles
Roles define what actions a user can take within the system. There are three main roles:
Admin
Full editing and publishing access.
Can manage other users’ roles and data access permissions.
Recommended for team leads or those responsible for overall workspace management.
Publisher
Can save and push Embeddables live.
Cannot manage other users.
Suitable for users who need to publish changes but do not require admin privileges.
Editor
Can save Embeddables, but
cannot
push them live.
Ideal for content creators or team members who prepare changes for review.
2. Data Access Levels
Data Access Levels determine what kind of end-user data a person can view. There are three levels:
Data Privacy Officer
Full access to all end-user data.
Responsible for defining which fields contain sensitive information.
There should be only one person with this role
—this person sets the rules for the rest of your team.
Full Data Access
Can access all end-user data, including personally identifiable information (PII/PHI).
Assign to team members who need the full set of customer data to do their job.
Anonymized Data Access
Can only access anonymized data—personally identifiable information about end-users is hidden.
This is the
safest
form of access and is recommended for most users.
Best Practices
Assign the
Data Privacy Officer
role to a single, trusted team member who understands privacy requirements.
Use
Anonymized Data Access
for most users to minimize risk and exposure to sensitive data.
Only grant
Full Data Access
to those who absolutely need it for their work.
Regularly review user roles and data access levels to ensure they are up to date and appropriate for each team member’s responsibilities.
