Role Based Admin Permissions Guide

We often get asked what Admin Permissions and Notifications should admins have based on their role within your organization. We’ve included this guide as a general suggestion. 

In our experience, these are the minimum permissions and notifications that should granted for each of these Admin Roles. 

Remember, you can customize to your organization’s unique preferences and assign Read-Only access as needed. 

Notes: 

  • Admins Permissions, available for clients on our Essentials, Pro and Pro Plus plans only, is a security feature that allows organizations to configure granular access to various admins for certain areas in REACH. 
  • Any admin marked as Primary will have full access to all Permissions by default.
