What's the Access Difference Between a Member-Type User and a Builder-Type User?
In Jestor, a member-type user is meant for anyone who just uses already-configured processes, while a builder has access to create and edit tables, apps, automations, and the account's structure.
Why separate these two access levels
Not everyone on the team should be able to change how a process works — the recommendation is that most people use what's already been set up, while only a few, usually the ones responsible for the structure, get builder access.
What each type of user can do
- Member: fills out forms, moves cards, uses the day-to-day process
- Builder: creates and edits tables, apps, automations, and account settings
- The default recommendation is to keep most of the team as members
- Custom roles can further refine what each group can access
How to set the access type when adding a user
- Go to the users area inside Jestor's settings
- Click add user and enter the person's email
- Choose the seat type: usually member, with exceptions
- Assign a specific role, if you need to further fine-tune permissions
Process automation with control over who can change what
Separating member and builder is the foundation of permission control within process automation in Jestor, reducing the risk of someone accidentally changing a flow that other team members depend on.
