User Roles and Permissions

Spiro allows organizations to set different permissions for data visibility of users. 

You can update permissions under Settings > User Administration. Here are the different permissions and what they mean:

User Permissions

Admin: 

  • A user of any role can also be an Admin
  • Admins can make customizations to their organization's Spiro account
  • Admins can manage users (including inviting, deactivating and making another user an admin)
  • Admins can log in as any other user
  • Admins can run data imports and mass updates

Email / Calendar Visibility:

  • This controls who can see the content of this user's activities on the timeline
  • Options are: User only, User only and their manager, User group and their manager, Everyone has full access
  • When visibility is restricted, other users will still see the activity in the timeline but the Description will be [Access Restricted]

Company Settings for User Permissions

Business Entity Rules

  • Restrict the ability to create, update, delete, or export companies, contacts and opportunities
  • Restrict the ability to create, update, delete, export, or view custom entities.

Admins are able to change these permissions in the Business Rules section of the Company

Teams Visibility

The Teams Visibility function is often used by organizations with limited visibility rules in place when there is still a need for collaboration across companies and deals. Admins can enable Teams under company settings. 

Once enabled, a new tab (list entity) will appear on the company record, where you can add existing users as additional team members. Once added, the new member will have all the same visibility rights as the owner of the company record. In the example below, the user Mookie Betts will be able to see all the company activities, related contacts, and related opportunities, even though they are not the owner of the Industrial Manufacturing Corp. company record.
