Modes
Manage mode
Manage mode is for building the platform structure—creating types, templates, workflows, and review processes.
Users with manage permissions can create and edit types, templates, and instances. They can use the platform in either manage or operate mode.
Operate mode
Operate mode is for executing the workflows set up by managers.
Users with operate permissions can create and edit instances, and respond to review requests. They cannot access manage mode.
More fine-grained permissions can be introduced on an individual template level using training requirements.
Permission levels
There are three main permission levels in Seal:
Permissions are set on the individual user when their account is created. They can then be edited any time by Organization Admins.
Admins
There are two admin levels: Organization Admins (manage users, settings, and permissions across the organisation) and System Admins (manage system-level settings such as homepages and view groups, with additional capabilities like bypassing review requirements).
Adding and Deleting Users
Only Organization Admins can manage user counts within the organisation.
If you’ve reached your user limit, contact support@seal.run to add more users.
User groups
User groups are for organizing users—they’re separate from permissions. Users can belong to multiple groups, and review requests can be sent to entire groups.
Organization Admins manage user groups from the Settings page.
Managing users
Only Organization Admins can add or remove users from the organisation. If you’ve reached your user limit, contact support@seal.run.
