What are "Default Member permissions"?

In Glean, they refer to the set of permissions that are automatically assigned to all members when they join the workspace. These permissions can be managed and modified by Admins.

Where can I configure this?

As an Admin, you can configure this by navigating to Admin console > Teammates and clicking on the "⚙ Default Member permissions" button near the top right corner of the table. For smaller teams, we recommend keeping most of the permissions toggled on by default.

How do I make adjustments to individual users' permissions?

If you want to adjust the permissions of an individual, you can go back to the main Teammates page, find the specific individual in the table, click on the menu, then "Edit roles". You'll be able to see the different permissions associated with different roles (i.e. Super Admin, Admin, Setup Admin, Member). You can also scroll to the bottom of the modal and assign additional permissions (e.g. sensitive content moderator).


What is a "Super Admin"?

A "Super Admin" in Glean can grant other users permissions to lookup sensitive content and verify document access. If you do not have a Super Admin designated, please reach out to your customer success manager.
