Organization Role

This lab demonstrates how to create and apply an administrative feature in an assignable role to a member in Retool. Sometimes, members in a Retool group need one or more administrative permissions to complete their work. Organization roles provide a way to select one or more administrative permission types that can be applied to an existing Retool Group. For this lab, imagine a builder team that needs to be able to create/manage queries in Query Library.

Lab Requirements​

This lab demonstrates the Organization roles introduced in v3.300.0+.
