FAQs & Common Issues
What roles are available in Gamma?
Roles include Viewer, Editor, and Admin. Each comes with specific permissions ranging from basic viewing access to full workspace control.
Why don’t I see the option to change roles?
Only users with Admin permissions can update roles. If you don’t see the option, check your current role or ask an Admin to make the change.
Will users be notified if their role is changed?
Currently, Gamma does not send an automatic notification when a role is updated. It’s a good idea to inform your team member manually.
