Jobs: who can do what

What owners, admins, staff and viewers can do with work records, record types and work settings, how a limit to one business applies, and the API scopes.

Last updated Web

Your workspace may use a different word for its work; the screens are the same.

Your role decides what you can do with work records, whatever your workspace calls them: Calls, Policies, Matters or Jobs. The roles are the same four as everywhere else. See Roles and permissions.

Work records

Owner Admin Staff Viewer
Open and read records Yes Yes Yes Yes
Create, edit and discard a draft Yes Yes Yes No
Activate a record Yes Yes Yes No
Move stages, assign, set the next action, add notes Yes Yes Yes No
Complete or reopen a record Yes Yes Yes No
Add a sub-job, or move a record under another Yes Yes Yes No
Cancel a record Yes Yes No No
Delete a record made by mistake Yes Yes No No

Cancelling or deleting a record asks for your second factor.

Activating a record gives it a number and counts as one send. It is never refused at your monthly limit. See What counts as a send.

Record types and work settings

Owner Admin Staff Viewer
See the published record types Yes Yes Yes Yes
Open a draft type in the editor Yes Yes No No
Open Work & terminology Yes Yes Read only No
Create, edit, duplicate and order types Yes Yes No No
Publish, archive and restore a type Yes Yes No No
Retire a stage, or move records to another type Yes Yes No No
Change the words, the pins and the client view Yes Yes No No
Apply a business type's work setup Yes Yes No No

These may ask you to confirm it is you: publishing, archiving and restoring a type, retiring a stage, moving records, changing the words or the client view, and applying a business type. Pinning and ordering types do not.

Limited to one business

A member limited to some businesses reaches only the records of those businesses. A record in another business answers as if it did not exist. The same member sees only the record types offered to their businesses, and changes the settings of those businesses only.

API keys and connected assistants

Three scopes cover work records:

  • jobs:read. Read work records, their types and the work configuration. Notes marked internal are never returned. Email and phone answers are masked, and address and sensitive answers are left out, unless the key also holds contacts:read.
  • jobs:write. Create and edit records as drafts and move them through their stages. Includes read. Writing a contact or sensitive answer also needs contacts:read. Activating a record is an action: a person approves it, or the owner's Auto rule runs it.
  • workConfig:write. Save a record type as a draft, or ask the assistant for a setup proposal. Asking uses AI credits. Nothing changes until an owner or admin applies it in BillingMart. Publishing a type, the words, the pins and the client view are never a scope.
