Permissions

Choose who can do what: assign to others, move mail to Trash or Spam, manage labels, trust senders, invite people and more. Each for everyone, administrators only, or chosen teams and people.

Adding a mailbox: the Servers step.

What it does

Choose, one thing at a time

  • One setting for each thing

    Assigning, Trash and Spam, labels, shared contacts, trusted senders, signatures and invitations each have their own.

  • Everyone, administrators or chosen

    Each can be for everyone, for administrators only, or for chosen teams and people.

  • See what one person can do

    Open anyone in People and their Permissions tab says what they can do, and why.

  • Every change recorded

    Activity shows who changed who can do what, from what to what.

How it works

Open it, choose, done

  1. 1

    Open Permissions

    Administrators open Settings › Permissions, where each setting sits in a group such as Conversations, Sending or Senders and spam.

  2. 2

    Choose who

    Pick Everyone, Administrators only, or Chosen teams and people, then tick the teams and people you mean.

  3. 3

    Check a person

    Open them in Settings › People › Permissions to see what they can do, and why: through a team, or chosen one by one.

Good to know

The details

Who can use it
Administrators change permissions. An administrator can always do everything, and a suspended or removed person can do none.
Where
Settings › Permissions, and a person’s Permissions tab in Settings › People.
Roles
There are two roles, administrator and member. Permissions are how you let members do more.
Defaults
A new organisation starts with administrators only for inviting people, making signatures for others and moving shared mail into a private mailbox, and everyone for the rest.
