Comprehensive list of all permissions in ahead, along with descriptions of the actions they enable users to perform.
🧑🏻💻 For admins | ✅ Standard feature
Each permission comes with a description explaining what it enables users to do, along with a reference to which of the standard roles—User, Editor, or Admin—typically include it. While these three roles are commonly used, ahead also supports creating custom roles to fit your organization’s specific needs.
The permissions are organized into groups to enhance readability.
