What Are Roles and Permissions
The role is set to all your team members and it indicates the level of permission to create and edit Objectives, Key Results, Tasks, Sprints, and Teams in the Goals app. Permission, in turn, is a set of actions that team members with a particular role can do inside of KeepSolid Goals.
Collaboration is a great way to organize the work process. If your team is disorganized, it’ll be very difficult to achieve some goals and complete the project.
Note: You can always see the full overview of roles and their permissions in your account Settings > Roles.
Types of Roles and their Permissions
Admin
This role provides your team member with the same permissions as a team owner has. Admin can create and edit Objectives, Key Results, Tasks, and Sprints, invite team members, remove them from the existing team, and also change their roles.
Manager
The team members with this type of role can create and edit any Objectives, Key Results, Sprints, Teams, and Tasks but only within assigned Objectives.
Employee
The workers with this type of role have the smallest set of actions to do in the Goals app. Employees can only edit Key Results and Tasks they are assigned to.
Custom (coming soon)
The Goals team is currently working on the Custom Role feature that will allow you to create personalized roles for your teammates and assign the needed permissions for them.
How to Collaborate Using Goals
1. Invite team members to the project to work towards the target together.
2. Manage the composition of the team and choose a role for each member.
3. Appoint team members responsible for different goals and/or tasks.
4. Make a description and set Key Results for goals and tasks - this helps respective team members better understand the essence of the goal or task.
5. Look through the list of team members, see their email addresses and communicate via email to share the most important information.

Why Every Team Needs Goals
To structure the work process
Display your main target on the Mind Map, then figure out related goals, and finally add appropriate tasks for each goal. Now all your works are structured, so you can easily navigate between them.
To increase productivity
When each team member is aware of the main target of the project and understands the steps to achieve it, they need less time to complete their tasks.
To plan future works easily
You can see the progress of each task and goal daily via Kanban Board. Kanban Board shows task statuses, so you can make immediate changes if you see that some task is going to miss its deadline. Also, you can plan additional works based on the ongoing team workload.
To collaborate with each other
Set tasks not only in words but also in the digital form, e.g. in an app. In this way, each team member will be able to see all the tasks assigned to them and won’t miss deadlines.
To see everything that's on your plate
Be aware of your objectives, key results, KPIs, and ongoing tasks throughout the whole project implementation. One need only look at the Mind Map to understand progress towards key results and the current status of tasks.
To be on the same page with your team
Invite your team members to the app, assign them to different key results and tasks, and control the workload of each team member. Moreover, everyone in your team can see objectives, key results, and KPIs towards which you are going to work, so you needn’t waste time on any extra explanations.
