Enterprise Grid: adding and updating Workspace Owners and Admins

Enterprise Grid has Workspace-level and Channel-level roles. Workspace Admins get Admin access to every channel; there is 1 Owner and unlimited Admins.

There are two workspace levels when it comes to the Enterprise Grid:

  1. Workspace-level

  2. Channel-level

Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on the Enterprise plan. Works the same for Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.

Workspace-level supersedes Channel-level. For example, if someone is an Owner/Admin of the Workspace-level, they will automatically have Admin access to each Channel-level permission.

Enterprise Grid Member Permissions

Workspace-level

  • Owner: All Admin permissions and ability to delete Matter channel.

  • Admin: Full access to all settings, analytics, rewards, and billing.

  • Member: Access based on whether they’re currently in the Matter channel.

Channel-level

  • Channel-Admin: Full access to channel settings.

  • Member: Access based on whether they’re currently in the Matter channel.

Member Permission Details

  • By default, the team member who adds Matter to Slack/Teams first will become the Owner of the Workspace-level. Subsequently, the team member who adds Matter to additional Slack/Teams channels will become the respective Channel Admin at the Channel-level.

    • Any additional team members added will have a Member permission level.

  • Each Workspace-level can only have 1 Owner.

  • Workspace-level and each Channel-level can have unlimited Admins.
