Inbox Permission Types
Flexible user permissions allow you to control who handles which tasks in the Swat.io Inbox. Permissions can be set at the workspace or channel level to ensure the right members have access to the features they need.
Which permission system is available to you depends on your license:
Permission System | Included in License |
Basic Permission System | Small |
Advanced Permission System | Medium, Large, Custom, Enterprise |
Legend
The symbols in the tables below indicate which tickets the respective permission applies to.

1. Basic Permission System (Small)
In the Small tier, permission assignment is binary: members either have full access to the Inbox or none at all. Individual role assignment is not possible.
Available permission types:
Full: full, unrestricted access to all Inbox features (edit, reply, assign, archive, delete tickets)
None: no access to the Inbox

2. Advanced Permission System (Medium, Large, Custom, Enterprise)
In the Medium tier as well as in all Large, Custom and Enterprise licenses, four permission types can be assigned individually per member. This allows for more granular structures, e.g. for interns or the legal department.
Available permission types:
Full (core team): full, unrestricted access to all features
Assigned Full (e.g. interns): all features, but only for assigned tickets
Assigned Feedback (e.g. legal department): read access to assigned tickets, feedback possible via the activity log
Read Only: read access to all tickets, no write or delete rights
None: no access to the respective channel or workspace
