FAQ

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this feature and how it fits into your alliance strategy.

Answers at a glance

What is partner portal RBAC in Channlworks?

Partner portal RBAC lets administrators assign roles that bundle permissions across modules like storage, CRM integrations, programs and partner profiles. Every user gets exactly one role that defines what they can view, create, update, or delete.

How granular is channel access control?

Permissions extend to modules, sub-modules and CRUD actions. You can allow read access to sync logs while restricting create or delete, giving channel teams precise control over sensitive workflows.

Can I copy and reuse roles across teams?

Yes. Clone an existing role to create a variant, such as turning an admin role into a read-only viewer, without rebuilding the entire permission set. Organize roles into groups for Sales Ops, Marketing, Alliances and external guests.

How do domain-aware invite guardrails work?

Optional domain rules prevent invites to unapproved email domains, reducing accidental access for external users. Combined with status filters and approval flows, onboarding stays fast and secure.

Are admin roles protected from unsafe edits?

Critical system roles include safe-by-default protections. Permission changes require admin privileges and the permissions matrix provides an audit-friendly view for reviews and compliance.
