User role management in StoriesOnBoard

StoriesOnBoard offers different roles to provide the necessary privileges for users and to restrict permissions.

On workspace level, we distinguish the following roles:

  • Subscription Admin

  • Admin

  • Member

  • Observer

On the story map level, the following user roles available:

  • Admin

  • Editor

  • Viewer

Here you can find further information about each role.


Workspace Admins can also provide and remove access to Story Maps and Feedback Management for each collaborator. To enable these functions follow these steps:

  1. Visit the "Users" menu

  2. Find the right user and add/remove its access to products

  3. When you assign the user to a product a pop-up can help to set access details

  4. Choose the collaborator's desired role from the drop-down menu

Changing story map level user roles

To change a user's role on a specific story map, visit the "Story maps" menu:

  1. Visit the "Story maps" menu

  2. Select "Manage story maps"

Enable commenting and discussion for viewer collaborators

You can also improve the collaboration with stakeholders or other team members by enabling ‘Commenting and discussion for viewer collaborators’. If this function is enabled, Viewers have the opportunity to place their comments to the cards, but they can not edit the content of the story map.

How can I enable viewers to comment? (Please note this feature is available from our Standard Plan)
