Roles & permissions
Frontierz has three flat roles. Each one comes with a fixed set of permissions. There are no custom permission profiles to configure.
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to everything. Every Learning Path, every AI Fellow, the Connectors Library, Company Settings, Access Management, analytics, and Billing when it's enabled. |
| Manager | Same as a User, plus full management of the specific Learning Paths and AI Fellows explicitly assigned to them. Managers can edit those programs and Fellows, enroll learners, manage who has access to a Private Fellow, and toggle built-in capabilities like Screen Share or Schedule Next Session. The Connectors Library is Admin-only for them, and they can't manage company-wide settings or invite teammates. |
| User | Access to the Learning Paths they're enrolled in and the AI Fellows shared with them. They can talk to Fellows and edit their own profile. |
What a Manager can and can't do
If you're inviting Managers, the boundary is worth being explicit about.
They can:
- Edit the Learning Paths and AI Fellows that have been explicitly assigned to them: content, sessions, objectives, persona, purpose, Knowledge Base.
- Enroll, remove, and export learners on their assigned Learning Paths.
- Toggle built-in capabilities (Screen Share, Schedule Next Session) on their assigned Learning Paths and AI Fellows.
- Manage the access list for their assigned Private AI Fellows from Manage Users, including adding or removing users and exporting the access list as CSV.
- Use the View as Learner toggle to see the platform from a learner's perspective (see below).
They can't:
- Open the Connectors Library. The link doesn't appear in their sidebar or top menu, and visiting any Connectors Library URL returns a "no access" page.
- Create, edit, attach, or detach custom Connectors. If a custom Connector has already been attached to one of their Fellows or programs by an Admin, the Manager will see it as a read-only "Active" chip. Built-in Connectors stay toggleable.
- Add, edit, or remove other Admins or Managers.
- Open Company Settings, the company profile, or Billing.
View as Learner
Admins and Managers have a View as Learner toggle in the bottom user menu. Switching it on redraws the sidebar and the top menu the way an end user actually sees them: no Studio, no Company Settings, no Learning Path Admin dropdown, just Home, Your Journey, and Your Fellow. The session, identity, and tenant stay the same. You're still you, just with the admin UI hidden. Toggle it back off (the button reads Back to Admin View while it's on) and the full view comes back.
Useful for sanity-checking what a learner actually sees before you send an invite, or for sharing your screen with someone who can't find a session.
Add an Admin or Manager
For a Manager, pick the Learning Paths and AI Fellows they should be able to manage. Admins see everything by default, so you can skip this step.
Admins can read every conversation transcript and every analytics dashboard in your company. Reserve the role for people who actually need that level of access.
