Kajabi Adds Custom User Permissions for Individual Team Access

Custom User Permissions gives Kajabi account owners control over what each team member can do, replacing a choice between four fixed roles with access set person by person.

Previously, adding someone meant assigning one of those predefined roles. That could give the person access beyond the work they had been brought in to handle. The beta lets owners match permissions to each person’s job instead.

According to the LinkedIn announcement, permissions can be configured individually for assistants, contractors and collaborators. Each person can receive the access needed for their work without receiving the rest of the account’s controls.

How Kajabi Custom User Permissions changes access

The main change is the level at which access gets assigned. The previous system started with a role. The beta starts with an individual account user.

External helpContractors and collaborators received a fixed roleTheir permissions can be selected individually

This gives account owners another way to separate responsibilities across a team. An assistant, contractor or collaborator no longer needs to receive every permission included in the closest available role.

The feature applies to account users rather than customers or community members. It controls what the people helping to run the business can access inside Kajabi.

Custom access is available in beta

Custom User Permissions is now in beta. Kajabi has also published a Help Centre article titled “Customize permissions for an account user”, placing the controls within its account and billing documentation alongside account-user management.

The update is focused on access control rather than creating more fixed role templates. Owners make the decision user by user, based on the tasks assigned to that person.
