Permissions specify the range of actions- Such as viewing, creating, editing, or deleting- that can be executed on Finout's resources. Each role contains a set of these permissions. Roles are assigned to users and a single user can inhabit multiple roles, inheriting the combined permissions of each.

In the Finout app you can find 4 pre-defined roles with their pre-defined list of permissions:

  • Admin role: Has view, create, edit, and delete permissions.

  • Read-only role: Has view permissions.

  • Basic role: Has view permissions, and additional permissions, for example, save, edit, and rename Views, and full access to .

  • API token role: Has permissions relevant to using the

Based on a user's assigned role, certain actions will be automatically restricted. For instance, under the Costs centers tab in Settings, the Add cost center button is deactivated for users with a 'read-only role'. Users needing additional permissions should reach out to their system admin.

In upcoming updates, we are working on allowing users to establish custom roles tailored to their accounts. For more details, please reach out to our support team at support@finout.io.
