Understanding Roles and Permissions in Tactic
Tactic provides a flexible roles and permissions system that allows administrators to control what users can see and do within the platform. Each user can be assigned a Role (Admin or Member) and one or more Permissions to manage resources, teams, or pages.
How to Assign User Roles and Permissions
-
Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
-
Select Settings from the menu.
-
Go to Users & Teams.
-
Under the Users tab, click on the name of the user you want to edit.
This opens the User Settings panel, where you can:
-
View basic information about the user (name, email, title, working location, building, and timezone).
-
Set their Role (Admin or Member).
-
Assign Permissions.
-
Manage their Team assignments.
When finished, click Save to apply the changes.
Roles
Admin Role
Admins have full access to Tactic, including the ability to manage users, resources, and organizational settings.
Admins also inherit all permissions by default, including:
-
Scheduler
-
Team Manager
-
Resource Manager
-
Page Manager
This means Admins can create, edit, and delete reservations for any user, manage resources, approve or deny reservations, and update organization pages without needing to manually assign these permissions. Additional specialized permissions like Health Manager can also be added if needed.
Common Admin Capabilities:
-
Schedule or edit reservations for any user
-
Approve or deny reservations
-
Manage users, resources, and teams
-
Edit organization settings
-

Manage integrations and IT settings
Member Role
Members are standard users who can manage their own reservations and activity within Tactic. They can be granted additional permissions that expand their functionality—such as managing teams, resources, or creating reservations for others.
Permissions
Permissions can be assigned to both Admins and Members. Admins automatically receive all permissions, but these can be manually adjusted when needed.
