Create custom roles on Enterprise Grid

On the Enterprise Grid plan, you can create customized administrative roles to delegate specific tasks (like managing guests or viewing analytics) to people in your organization. 

Tip: You can also assign members to Slack-built system roles to easily delegate tasks without creating a custom role.

Create a custom role

1. Click your organization name in the sidebar.
   
2. Hover over Tools & settings, then click Organization settings.
3. Choose  People, then select Manage permissions. 
4. Select Roles, then click Add Custom Role in the top right.
5. Choose a name and description for your role, then click Add Permissions.
6. Check or uncheck the boxes next to the permissions you’d like for your role, then click Add.
7. Click Save to finish.

Note: Additional permissions for custom roles will be released in the future. Stay tuned!
