Volumetric Check Permissions

This page covers the team permissions required to view, create, edit, archive, and delete a Volumetric check on a source datastore. For the full reference of user roles, see User Roles. For the canonical matrix of every team-permission-gated action, see Team Permissions Overview.

Permission Matrix

The table below shows which team permissions can perform each action on a datastore the user has access to:

Action Reporter Viewer Drafter Author Editor
View a Volumetric check
Create a check as Draft
Create a check as Active
Validate a check
Edit a check while it stays Draft
Edit an Active check, or activate a Draft
Archive a check
Restore an archived check as Draft
Restore an archived check as Active
Delete an archived check permanently

Key Details

  • Viewing is available to all team permissions, including Reporter and Viewer.
  • Draft work is available from the Drafter permission upward: creating a check as Draft, editing it while it stays Draft, and restoring an archived check as Draft.
  • Validating a check requires the Author permission. A Drafter does not see the Validate button and saves work as a Draft without validating it.
  • Anything that puts a check into evaluation requires at least the Author permission: creating or activating an Active check, editing an Active check, archiving, restoring as Active, and deleting permanently.
  • Editing the limits from the Observability chart (the Edit Thresholds button) requires the Author permission. See Edit Threshold.
  • The same rules apply through the API. The API page lists the permission each endpoint requires.
  • Admins bypass team permissions and can manage checks on every datastore in the workspace. Managers do not bypass team permissions: like Members, they need the required permission in at least one team assigned to the datastore.

Team Context

Permissions are evaluated against the datastore's team assignments. A user must have the required team permission in at least one team that the datastore belongs to. For more details on how teams work, see the Team Permissions page.
