That’s a great idea. Until then you’ll need to use a workflow as part of an onboarding experience. ---

He means a Glide workflow, and specifically a server side workflow. I can understand the idea of having a “default” role that gets set at sign-up, and that’s a good idea. But would you really want to allow users to choose their own roles? If that was the case, wouldn’t everyone just choose to be an Admin? ---

Ya, a “Manual Trigger Workflow”. I certainly wouldn’t allow users to select a role. It should always be predefined. You can always have users select a “title” or “user type” without any trouble. ---

Thanks for the reply. The idea is that there would be a default role, not being able to be selected. after if it required manual interaction it would be good. It could be useful is you have 3 apps and depending of the link the user click on to access de app the role would be predefined and features as well. ---

I have default roles I set when the user is invited, either through an admin UI component or by their team’s/company admin. When the invitation is kicked off, a workflow runs to compute their permissions. Pretty scalable and done by the time they log in. An enhancement I’m working on is a set of switches that the admin can enable/disable for specific permissions, which will then get sucked in by the triggered workflow and permissions computation happens based on the bool values provided.
