Understanding User Seat Types

Understanding User Seat Types

Wamly uses two distinct client seat types to manage access and collaboration. Each is designed to balance security with functional needs.

 

 

1. Project Admin Seat

The Project Admin Seat is the highest level of access available. Users assigned this seat have full system authority and can manage all aspects of the platform.

  • Capacity: The number of seats is determined by your pricing plan.
  • Ability: Specific abilities are still determined by your Organisation Admin through permissions, making this the ideal choice for HR managers.

2. Member Seat

The Member Seat is a versatile, multi-purpose option designed for users who do not require full project administration access.

These seat types can also be used for users with specialised access or limited visibility.

Common roles include:

  • Viewer: Provides "read-only" access to designated areas of the system.
  • Rater: Restricts access specifically to the rating and evaluation functionality.
  • Marketing: Unlocks the Branding Suite and Template Builder to manage the candidate experience.
  • IT: Grants access to the Developer Portal, including SSO configuration, API keys, and Webhooks.
  • Billing: Limits access strictly to Billing and Transaction History for financial management.

Capacity & Limits

Member Seats are provided at no extra cost; however, the total number of seats you can assign is determined by your specific pricing plan:

PlanMember Seat Capacity
EssentialUp to 50 seats
ProfessionalUp to 500 seats
EnterpriseUp to 5,000 seats

Where Do I View & Assign Seats?

  • Navigate to the newly added Users & Permissions section in your menu bar.
  • Click on the Users tab.
  • The table in the user window holds all your user information including user Names, Roles, Seat and Status.
  • To edit an existing seat, locate your user in a row and click on the seat column. A modal will open where you can easily select the new seat type and click Change seat.
  • To add a new user, click the Add+ button at the top of the table.

 

 

  • Fill in the details of your user and click Add User.
  • Next manage your new user's permissions and set their Roles, Groups and Seat. Click Add 1 user. You did it!

 

 

Adding Users on a Project Level

In the project window there is a newly added Users & Access tab which provides visibility on all users who have access to a specific project.

 

 

For total clarity, we've split this into two categories:

  • Project Team: These are your active contributors. You've specifically hand-picked these people to drive the project forward.
  • Others with Access: These users have "Inherited Access." They can see the project by default due to their higher-level organisational roles.

 

 

If someone is missing, Project Managers can now grant users access directly to a specific project without them needing an organisation-level role.

  • Click the Add to team+ button and select the user or group you want to include.
  • Keep in mind that their global seat type will still act as the final boundary for what they can actually do.

 

 

How Do User Seats And Permissions Work Together?

In the Wamly system, user seats and permissions work together through the following steps:

  1. Organisation admins assign seats to individuals.
    • Remember seats don't grant power; Admins do (via Roles). The seat simply acts as a hard limit on what a user can actually do.
  2. When you take an action, the Wamly system bundles your permissions and caps them at your seat level.
  3. If a permission exceeds your seat type, you'll see a warning and the action only unlocks once the seat is upgraded.

Well done! You've nailed seats and users. For more detail, read the full Permissions How-To-Guide here.
