Hi all, As part of my app development I have been working on a base template that I always start with. I was finding myself having to make the same changes to a new app everytime. But what is really exciting about this template is the powerful Role Hierarchy system that I have built into it. I noticed a few people requesting this sort of functionality beyond the simple “Role” that Glide gives you. Here are some more details and screenshots: Roles are organized into a hierarchical system that is numerically coded to define levels of responsibility and reporting structure. Here’s an introductory overview of how your roles work: ##### Role Hierarchy Each role within your organization is assigned a numeric value under the “Hierarchy” column. This number denotes the role’s level within the organizational structure, with a lower number indicating a higher rank. This is how the default roles are configured within the starter app: 1. Manager: With a hierarchy number of 10, this is the highest level displayed. This role oversees the functions of the roles below it. 2. Supervisor: Assigned a hierarchy number of 20, this role reports directly to the Manager and is responsible for the oversight of the Employee level. 3. Employee: This role, with a hierarchy number of 30, is at the foundational level of the operational structure and reports to the Supervisor. ##### Inheritance of Responsibility Roles inherit responsibilities and potentially permissions from roles lower in the hierarchy. This is documented in the “Inherits” column: - The **Manager** inherits responsibilities from the Supervisor and Employee roles, indicating that the Manager has oversight or is indirectly responsible for the tasks and functions of these roles. - The **Supervisor** inherits responsibilities from the Employee, which suggests that the Supervisor is tasked with the direct management of employees and their work. ##### Practical Application - **Operational Clarity:** The structure provides clear lines of reporting and accountability. Employees know whom they report to, and managers know who reports to them. - **Access Control:** The numerical hierarchy can be used to set up role-based access controls in your systems, where higher levels (lower numbers) have more access or permissions. - **Scalability:** This system allows for adding new roles or levels with ease by assigning them a hierarchy number that fits into the existing structure. - **Simplicity in Management:** The straightforward numerical system makes it easy to visualize the organizational chart and manage roles without complex relational data management. ![Screen Shot 2023-12-17 at 6.12.33 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a4e291d3505336085d2af6036a0626f17b4a55e2.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2023-12-17 at 10.41.12 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/9/f965706e3582cde5e2bb10dba2474f235bad506e.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2023-12-17 at 10.42.14 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/1/11c47abf73403e0191e86e3e58f0937c7350cae4.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2023-12-17 at 10.42.42 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/6/86bf9fb6d82133e894b9ba194b72dddb4783426a.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2023-12-17 at 10.42.56 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/1/3176cfc2edfcb9f4341982d2a45ea5f33b79304f.jpeg) I plan on releasing this on the marketplace very soon. Along with full documentation on how you can use it for your next app. Thanks Adam ---

Nice! I’ve found using number roles helpful in HR apps. Not only can you set permissioning but also logic (eg. allow edits when level is \>=3). ---

Exactly this concept. I have put default roles hierarchy numbers in intervals of 10’s to allow for easy inserting of roles between existing roles without having to renumber everything else. ---

Curious - does your template utilise Roles as Row Owners, or are they purely “pseudo-roles” for CRUD purposes? ---

Pseudo Roles - I feel that gives more flexibility in their usage. And because of the “inheritance” logic - Row Owners could potentially make that difficult. I have written up a document about it here if you are interested: > **[Starter Template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qos6txTAPZlYxZvawRj40Uqf1nIVgozt1JfPedKvZJE/edit?usp=sharing)** > > This Doc is private ---
