This feature allows administrators to customize the permissions associated with KANNA's built-in roles (Owner / Company Administrator / General), and to freely create and edit custom "permission roles" tailored to your organization's operational structure.
Unlike the previous fixed permission settings, this feature lets you flexibly combine detailed operation permissions — such as "allow view-only access to projects" or "restrict chat editing" — using per-item checkboxes.
By leveraging this feature, you can simultaneously strengthen information security and improve operational efficiency.
Note: Configuration of this feature is only available on PC (web version). However, the permissions configured here apply across all platforms, including the mobile app.
Note: This is an optional add-on feature. Please contact your account representative if you wish to enable it.
Permission customization is managed in two steps: first configure permission roles in the Company Permissions screen, then link those roles to members in the Member Management screen.
1. Configuring Company Permissions
Begin by configuring company permissions in the Settings screen. Only administrators with the "Manage Company Settings & Customization" permission can perform this configuration.
1-1. Navigating to the Company Permissions Screen
Go to Settings, then click "Company Permissions" in the menu.
1-2. Company Permissions Screen Overview
The Company Permissions screen displays all customizable permissions and the current configuration for each permission role.
By default, three roles are available: Owner, Company Administrator, and General.
1-3. Editing Company Permissions
Click the Edit button in the top-right corner of the Company Permissions screen to enter edit mode.
1-3-1. Editing Existing Permission Roles
Edit a role by checking or unchecking the permission items displayed for that role.
*Note ①: Some permissions have dependencies — they cannot be enabled unless a prerequisite permission is already active. See Section 3 for details on permission dependencies.
*Note ②: Permissions that at least one user must always hold (required for KANNA to function) cannot be removed from the Owner role.
1-3-2. Creating a New Permission Role
To create a new permission role, follow these steps:
① Click "Add" in the top-right corner of the screen.
A dialog will appear with the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Company Authority Name | Enter a name for the role (max. 100 characters). Duplicate names are not allowed. |
| Base Company Authority | Select an existing role (excluding Owner) to use as a template. The new role will inherit the checkbox states of the selected base role. Any permissions not listed will inherit from the General role. |
② Check the required permissions for each item under "Available Actions".
Follow the same procedure as described in Section 1-3-1 to assign permissions to the new role. You can also delete existing roles from this screen by clicking "⋯" next to the role name and selecting Delete.
Note: A role cannot be deleted if it is currently assigned to any member. The default roles (Owner, Company Administrator, General) cannot be deleted.
③ Click "Save" in the top-right corner when finished.
Clicking Save applies all changes to KANNA.
Warning: If you close the browser or navigate away before clicking Save, your changes will be lost.
1-3-3. Applying Permission Roles to Members
After creating a role, assign it to members to put it into effect. Refer to the "How to change owner/company administrator/general permissions" page for instructions.

4. Additional Notes
・Company permission customization only applies to your own company's administrator permissions. Permissions of external company members cannot be modified.
・Behaviors that depend on project-level permission roles (Project Administrator / Project General) remain in effect as before.
・The following permissions must be held by at least one user for KANNA to operate properly, and are therefore permanently assigned to the Owner role and cannot be unchecked:
・View and manage company dashboard
・Manage company settings & customization
・A permission role that is assigned to any member cannot be deleted. Remove the role from all members before deleting it.
・As of March 2026, any permissions not yet listed in the Company Permission Customization feature continue to function as before. Unlisted permissions inherit from the General role.
・As of March 2026, when inviting company members via an invitation link, only the Company Administrator or General roles can be assigned at the time of invitation. If needed, update the role after the member joins. Custom roles can be specified when inviting members via email address, phone number, or Add multiple members.
