Manager / Admin Guide

Chat & Tasks admin

Self-hosted only

Chat and Tasks are self-hosted-only and still Beta. Both are on by permission for most employees — as a Manager or Admin, a few additional controls are available to you.

Moderating Chat

Any employee can edit or delete their own message within 30 seconds of sending it. After that window closes, only someone with chat-moderation permission can remove a message — use this if something inappropriate or wrong gets posted and the sender can no longer take it down themselves.

Mass @mentions — @everyone, a specific position, or a specific location — are gated behind a separate mention-groups permission. Grant it in Settings → Permissions to whoever should be able to notify a whole group at once, rather than leaving it open to everyone.

Assigning Tasks

Any employee can create and complete a task for themselves without any special permission. Assigning a task to someone else, making one open for anyone to claim, or scoping it to a specific location or position all require the task-assignment permission — grant it to whoever should be coordinating work across the team, not just managing their own.
