Snorkel Flow User roles

The table below summarizes the Snorkel Flow capabilities available for each role. Each role has a description, a suggested user type, and product capabilities available for that role.

Role and permission overview

ℹ️ Except for superadmin, all user roles are workspace-scoped. This means the same user can have different roles in different workspaces. (e.g. Developer in workspace 1, but Reviewer in workspace 2)

If you do not know what role you belong to, please ask your System Administrator for assistance. They can look up this information in the Admin Settings > User Management tab.

User permission management

From the User account management panel, administrators can create new users, deactivate users, and assign a different role to each user. This allows fine-tuning of access control to users, based on their role and need for access to certain data.

If you are an administrator, you can update users and roles in the Workspace management panel:

1. Select your username in the bottom left corner of your screen.
2. Select Admin settings.
3. Select the edit icon () for your specific workspace.
4. Add the users and roles in the Configure users section.
5. Select Save to apply these users and roles to your workspace.
