Flow Permissions
A Flow is governed by user roles, the platform-level roles that apply across the deployment. Team permissions do not gate the Flows pages themselves, but the operations a Flow runs still respect the datastore access of the context they run in.
User Roles
| Action | Member | Manager | Admin |
|---|---|---|---|
| View Flows and their configuration | |||
| View executions and their details | |||
| Create and publish a Flow | |||
| Edit and publish changes to a Flow | |||
| Activate or deactivate a Flow | |||
| Execute a Flow | |||
| Abort or delete an execution | |||
| Delete a Flow |
UI Behavior Without Permission
| Scenario | What the User Sees |
|---|---|
| A user cannot manage a Flow | The row's options menu is hidden on the Flows list, and the canvas offers no editing controls. |
| A user cannot manage an execution | The row's Abort and Delete buttons are hidden, and bulk selection explains that the user doesn't have permission to manage the execution. |
| A user without the Manager role opens the Flows page | The Add Flow button is not shown. |
