Control - Org-roles


An organization role is a more flexible grouping label than departments.
The Org-roles control allows you to select roles configured within the organization. It can also automatically fill in the current user’s role. Both single-select and multi-select modes are supported.

1. Selection Mode: Single / Multiple

  • Single select: Only one organization role can be selected
  • Multi-select: Multiple organization roles can be selected

You can switch the selection mode after saving the field configuration.

When using multi-select, you can drag selected roles to adjust their display order.

2. Selection Scope

You can define a scope so that users can only select roles within the specified range.

  • All: All roles in the organization are selectable

  • Specified Roles:

    • Select fixed organization roles
    • Use the current user’s roles
    • Reference other organization role fields

3. Permission Settings

You can assign permissions to members under the selected organization roles:

  • As Member: Members under the selected roles are assigned as record members (joiners)
  • As Record Owner: Members under the selected roles are assigned the same permissions as the record owner
  • Data only: The field acts like a text field and only stores role data

Being assigned as a member or owner does not guarantee access to the record. Permissions still depend on role configuration.

4. Default Value

You can configure default values for the organization role field:

  • Set a fixed organization role (applies to all users)
  • Reference another organization role field in the current worksheet
  • Reference an organization role field from another worksheet

If the field is single-select and multiple roles are returned, only the first role will be used as the default value.
