DocsRole matrix before ADR 010
Every combination of roles a member can hold on the workspace, on an application and on
a child of that application, and the role that resolves on the child in develop at
c5c5650eda, which is what production runs on 2026-10-14. Each row was resolved by the
role handler itself. ADR 010 changes some of these
results; the role matrix after ADR 010 shows which.
How to read it
- The child is a table of a database. A view below a table follows the same rules one level down. Automations, application builders and dashboards have no scopes below the application.
- A role is held by the member themselves unless it is marked “(team)”: then a team the member belongs to holds it. “–” means no role assignment on that scope.
- The workspace role is the one stored on the membership. “No role” makes the member take the roles of their teams on the workspace instead.
- The result is the role that applies on the child, which is what decides what the member can do there.
- Builder, Editor, Commenter and Viewer resolve the same way; the rows differ only in which of them comes out.

Roles held through a team
A team can hold a role on the workspace too. On one scope the member’s own role wins over the roles of their teams, whatever the roles are, and the workspace role stored on the membership wins over a team’s role on the workspace unless it is “No role”.
