Important
Before managing environment roles, you must understand the Interactions between environment and flag roles.
Environment roles
You can assign the following environment roles to a user or team:
- Admin – Can change environment-level permissions for other collaborators and perform all Publisher actions.
- Publisher – Can publish and edit flag rules in the environment, plus all Editor permissions. Requires an Editor flag role to modify rules for specific flags.
- Editor – Can edit unpublished flag rules in the environment, plus all Viewer permissions. Requires an Editor flag role to modify rules for specific flags.
- Viewer – Can view the environment, its settings, and the flag rules within it. Requires a Viewer flag role to view a flag's rules.
The project role sets default access, but any environment-level or flag-level permissions override it.
Note
To create a flag or audience, a collaborator must have Editor or above access in at least one environment.
If your project does not use granular permissions, the collaborator must have an Editor or above project role.

- Go to Settings > Environments.
- For the environment you want to adjust the role permissions, select More Options (...) > Manage Permissions.

You cannot edit the flag role permissions for Administrators and Project Owners.
