Introduction

Managing roles in your Gamma workspace helps you control access and responsibilities across your team. Whether you’re granting admin access or assigning editor permissions, this guide walks you through updating user roles step-by-step.

What is a User Role in Gamma?

User roles in Gamma determine what permissions a workspace member has. Roles include access to create, edit, manage members, and update workspace settings. Only admins can assign or change user roles.

How to Update User Roles

Step 1: Access Workspace Settings

From the Gamma dashboard, click the dropdown menu in the upper left corner and select Settings & members.

Step 2: Open the Members Tab

In the workspace settings, click on the Members tab to view all current members of your workspace.

Step 3: Select and Change the Role

Locate the user whose role you want to update. Under the Role column, click the current role. A dropdown will appear showing available role options with a brief description of each.

Choose the desired role, and Gamma will automatically save the update.

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.
