Permissions
What are Permissions in Colony, and how to manage them.
Manage Permissions
In addition to structuring your organization in
Teams
, you can distribute authority within them.
There are currently 6 different types of permission. To manage them, navigate to
New Action > Advanced > Manage Permissions
.
Root
Root allows you to take actions affecting the Colony as a whole, such as
changing the colony details
and
minting tokens
.
Administration
Administration allows you to
create and manage expenditures
, but not to fund them.
Architecture
Architecture allows you to set permissions in the active Team, as well as
changing the Team details
. Architecture permission in Root allows you to
create and edit Teams
.
Funding
Funding allows you to
fund expenditures
, and
transfer funds between Teams.
β
Arbitration
Arbitration allows you to resolve disputes, make state changes, and punish bad behavior.
Recovery
β
Recovery
allows you to disable the colony in an emergency, update storage, and approve reactivation. Recovery permission is only effective in
Root
.
Currently, the only way to distribute authority within a colony is to efficiently set permission in Teams and in Root.
