Team Roles

Assign IC staff to one of four roles — manager, coordinator, committee, or board — each mapping to a fixed set of permissions across the platform.

What it is

This is where you control who on your team can do what across the Innovation Center. It's manager-only — the page redirects anyone without team-management permission straight back to the dashboard. Treat it as a setup and governance task, not a daily operational screen.

The four roles

Every assignment is one of four roles, and each role maps to a fixed bundle of permissions — you don't configure permissions individually:

• Manager — full access: manage team, assign startups, edit plans, manage programs, score applications, view analytics.
• Coordinator — assign startups, edit plans, manage programs, view analytics. No scoring or team management.
• Committee — score applications only. Built for evaluators who shouldn't touch anything else.
• Board — view analytics only. Built for oversight without operational access.

Because roles map to fixed permission bundles, assigning "Committee" to someone guarantees they can score and nothing more — there's no separate step where that could drift.

Assigning people

Search your organization's directory or your existing portfolio contacts, pick a role, and assign. If someone isn't in your directory yet, Invite sends them an email invitation pre-set to a role, so they land with the right access from their first login.

The Legacy tab

An older, simpler team-members list from before the role system existed. Any new assignment happens through Roles; Legacy exists for continuity with what earlier team setups looked like, not for new assignments.

How it fits your workflow

Set this up when onboarding a new evaluator, coordinator, or board observer — not something you'll touch during day-to-day operations. Review it periodically (each new cohort, or when staff turn over) to make sure access still matches who's actually active on your team.

Getting started

Assign yourself and any co-managers as Manager first, then bring in Committee members ahead of your first scoring round and Board members before your first governance review.
