How To - Understand Ziflow user roles and rights
Summary: It is vital to understand how Ziflow user roles work and what rights will be granted for each option. There are three available roles inside the Ziflow application and each role has it’s own rights - however, it is worth noting that you can grant multiple roles to the same user.
Available for: Roles management assignment is only available to the Ziflow Admins. Once your role has been assigned by the Admin you will have the permissions dictated by the role/s you have been assigned.
Account Owner Role: The Account Owner role is unique to the user who subscribed to Ziflow.
This role gives the user all 3 permissions listed in the table below. You cannot assign the “Team Owner” role to another user but you are able to grant users more than one role from the table below. “Account Owner” status may be transferred to another user only by contacting
If you grant a user the rights to be a “User, Billing & Admin” then they will effectively have full permissions inside Ziflow to match that of the Account Owner.
You can have any combination you wish eg. a “User” and “Billing” role can be assigned to a Ziflow user.
Use the table below to determine what user permissions you wish to grant to your registered Ziflow users.
