Exactly the access each person needs

Build your own roles on top of Pilot, Ops Lead or Project Manager, or start from blank. Switch each action on or off, choose how far it reaches, and give the role to people when you invite them.

The DroneBundle Team page with the Custom roles list open, showing five roles with their descriptions

Build a Role in a Few Clicks

Every role has a name, a short description and a set of switches. The description shows under the role wherever someone picks it.

All Your Roles in One List

The Custom roles button on the Team page lists every role with its description, the role it starts from, how many changes it makes and how many people have it.

Switch Each Action On or Off

Actions are grouped by projects, jobs, the schedule, files and maps, flights, equipment, safety, maintenance, documents and invoices, clients, the team and the workspace. Many also ask how far they reach: everything, only what the person is given, or only their own work.

See What Changes Before You Confirm

Change Role shows what the starting role does, then exactly what the custom role changes. You know what someone gets before you confirm.

What Else It Does

A few more things worth knowing before you build your first role.

The Role Follows Them Everywhere

The dashboard, the mobile app, DroneBundle AI, search and Slack all follow the custom role.

Pages and buttons outside the role are hidden.

Nobody Edits Their Own Role

Admins and project managers manage custom roles, but nobody can change the role they have themselves.

Admin rights, like adding other admins, stay with admins.

Safe to Delete

A role that people still have cannot be deleted, and DroneBundle shows who has it.

Move them to another role first, then delete it.

Pilots Keep Flying

A role built from Pilot keeps assignments and availability, and a project manager on a custom role can still switch to Pilot Mode.

Everything the starting role does stays unless you switch it off.

Why Build Your Own Roles

Five built-in roles cover most of a drone team. Custom roles cover the people who do not fit any of them.

Nobody Sees Too Much

A bookkeeper sees invoices, not flight logs. A safety manager sees risks and incidents, not billing.

No More Closest Fit

Stop giving someone a bigger role than they need because the closest built-in role was missing one action.

A Role for Every Job

Lead pilots who hand out jobs, account managers without billing and mapping analysts who only need maps each get a role of their own.
