Sharing and Permissions

Share workflows with team members and control who can view, edit, or execute them.

Workflow Visibility

Private

  • Only you can access
  • Default for new workflows
  • Good for personal automations

Team

  • All team members can access
  • Permissions control what they can do
  • Ideal for collaborative workflows

Public (Templates)

  • Anyone can view and copy
  • Can't edit or run your version
  • Great for sharing knowledge

Permission Levels

| Permission | View | Edit | Execute | Delete | |------------|------|------|---------|--------| | Viewer | Yes | No | No | No | | Executor | Yes | No | Yes | No | | Editor | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Owner | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Viewer

Can see the workflow structure and execution logs but can't make changes or run it.

Executor

Can view and manually run the workflow. Useful for team members who need to trigger workflows but shouldn't modify them.

Editor

Can view, run, and modify the workflow. Can publish new versions but can't delete the workflow.

Full control including deletion and permission management. Workflow creators are automatically owners.
