Roles and permissions changed on Oct 26, 2023. See our announcement Introducing publishing permissions for more information.

There are 4 types of users in LaunchNotes: admins, contributors, and feedback agents.

  • Admins have full control over the entire LaunchNotes management portal/account.

  • Publishers can create and post content your published LaunchNotes page and manage subscribers, feedback and Ideas, however the main difference to Admins is that they do not have access to the Settings tab configure billing settings, email settings, page customizations, or invite other users.

  • Contributors can create draft content for your LaunchNotes page, and create feedback, however the main difference to Publishers is that they do not have permission to publish content or edit existing scheduled or published content.

Note: the contributor role type is only available on the Enterprise plan

  • Agents have the ability to submit feedback from Slack, but they don't have any access to the Management Portal. Users with this role type do not count against any user account limits.
