Custom admin roles are now available for all teams on the Canny Business plan! Just head to your new roles settings to customize your roles.

Our plan for custom admin roles is to give you a list of permissions to configure and create as a new role. From there, Owners will be able to assign those custom roles to other admins.
Let us know if you have any questions/concerns!

Customizable Permission Levels

While the current action permissions by role are helpful, it may be good to allow for customizable permissions. Depending on the organization's use case, more flexibility is needed to prevent confusion. An example of this would be a support team that is logging multiple requests a day. If there are duplicates, it would be helpful to have an option for Contributors not to post and only vote so a product manager can do the prioritization.

We would like to be able to customize the feedback boards that the Contributor and Managers roles can access within Canny because we are using Canny to manage feedback for a number of different internal applications. Currently, all levels of Canny admins have access to all feedback boards which can be problematic if you have a large number of admins and don't want people accidentally updating feedback for boards that they really shouldn't be accessing in the first place.

We have employees that need to be able to get those CSV exports, but need to be blocked from communicating with voters.

Definitely agree! There is a pretty big gap between Contributor and Manager. As the admin for our organization, it would be nice to make someone a contributor and then only check off the few additional responsibilities I would like them to have, such as, exporting data. Similarly, granting someone Manager access but removing their ability to delete users.

Will be super useful!
