Roles & Permissions
How roles and permissions are managed on Nekt
Permissions will help you to take care of the data governance in your workspace. Using this resource, you can control who can access and edit each table and layer (individually or for a group of people).
Managing permissions is only available for Growth or Custom plans. If you have a Starter plan, consider that all people added to your workspace will be a member with Manager permissions.
Existing roles
Each person inside a workspace will have one of these three roles:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| 1. Owner | Can view and edit everything |
| 2. Admin | Can view and edit everything except the Billing module |
| 3. Member | Will have the permissions defined by an admin/owner, accordingly to the rules defined below |
Members permissions
Differently from owners and admins, members have their access controlled. If you are a member, your access to layers and tables will be either Viewer, Editor or Manager.
The type of permission given to a user in a specific layer will be applied to all tables inside that layer.
Check below the impacts in each feature considering the permission given to a member.

All other features’ access is accordingly to the data they have access to.
Groups
Instead of applying the rules for a specific member of your team, you can create groups and apply the rules for the whole group at once.
Please, consider that if your group has, for example, a viewer permission to a specific table, but your individual account has been granted with a editor permission, the editor permission will be considered! We’ll always use the higher permission given to your account in case of multiple options.
