This way, you can easily differentiate between global and local admins, and confidently delegate responsibilities for specific areas Within the Admin Panel, you can manage admin groups for your organization under Role- ![](https://customers.seatti.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2023-02-57-35-5713-PM.png?width=183&height=194&name=image-png-Aug-15-2023-02-57-35-5713-PM.png) Based Permissions. (You will see this option in the admin menu only if you are a company admin yourself) The **role-based permissions system** was developed to empower on-site admins to independently manage the areas they are most familiar with, while safeguarding global settings that impact the entire organization. Global settings such as **prebooking period** or individual **modules** can only be modified by organization-wide 'global' admins. If you want to get an overview first before diving into all the details, you can watch the video 🎥 by our founder Chris at the bottom of this article. **Company Admins:** This group includes all organization-wide (global) admins who manage overarching settings and have unrestricted control over all areas. This group is automatically assigned all permissions and cannot be removed.    Those who were defined as admins during the onboarding process or were admins before the **role-based permissions** were activated are automatically assigned to the **Company Admins group.** The Company Admins group cannot be deleted, but its members can be edited. At least one person must always be a Company Admin to ensure Seatti can be managed, meaning the last member of the group cannot be removed.   ![](https://customers.seatti.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2023-03-02-18-2690-PM.png?width=604&height=387&name=image-png-Aug-15-2023-03-02-18-2690-PM.png) To organize the Seatti setup in your organization, you can create additional groups and define: - Who should be a member of this admin group - What type of permissions the group should have - Which area the group can utilize these permissions for. **Local Admins:** A local admin is a member of an admin group with specific permissions, which they can selectively utilize only in chosen areas. A local admin might also have access solely for analysis purposes, without the ability to modify areas. ### There are the following 3 roles (permissions): - Manage areas entirely - Manage areas limitedly - Analytics access - Booking management These roles partially build upon each other, meaning  ![](https://customers.seatti.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-15-2023-03-05-50-8768-PM.png?width=301&height=225&name=image-png-Aug-15-2023-03-05-50-8768-PM.png) that someone who is allowed to fully manage areas also automatically has Analytics access - so assigning the highest permission level is sufficient. If someone shouldn't be able to delete anything but should still manage areas and have access to data analytics, you would need to select both the Analytics and the limited area permission.   For instance, you can define three different admin groups for an office in Munich: - 'Office Munich HR Full Admins' - 'Office Munich HR Limited Admins' - 'Analytics Access Munich' You would then assign the 'Office Munich HR Full Admins' group the permission to **fully manage areas** and choose someone as an admin who is well-versed in HR matters on-site and can implement changes directly. The 'Office Munich HR Limited Admins' group could have limited area management rights and could include other HR team members who require more restricted access. The 'Analytics Access Munich' group could have analytics access without the ability to manage areas, suitable for those who need data insights but not area modification capabilities ![](https://customers.seatti.co/hubfs/image-png-Jun-13-2023-01-09-04-4224-PM.png) For the 'Office Munich HR Limited Admins' group, you would assign both the '**Manage Areas Limitedly**' permission and the **'Analytics Access'**. This way, group members can create new areas and view their occupancy, but they are not allowed to delete resources or areas. For the 'Analytics Access Berlin' group, you would only assign **Analytics access.** Typically, this group includes team leads or someone from management who is interested in analysis but shouldn't modify the configuration. You don't need to add colleagues who are already in the group with full permissions to this group again.     - [For Global IT](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-global-it?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation Guide](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-global-it?hsLang=en#installation-guide) - [Documentation for Seatti](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-global-it?hsLang=en#documentation-for-seatti) - [For Admins](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Admin Panel](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#admin-panel) - [Spaces](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#spaces) - [Manage Admins](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#manage-admins) - [Settings / Modules](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#settings-modules) - [Floorplans](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#floorplans) - [Visitor Management](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#visitor-management) - [Office Intelligence](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-admins?hsLang=en#office-intelligence) - [For employees](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Seatti Manual](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#seatti-manual) - [Setting up Seatti](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#setting-up-seatti) - [Meetup](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#meetup) - [Desk Booking](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#desk-booking) - [Parking space booking](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#parking-space-booking) - [Check In Functionality](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#check-in-functionality) - [Meeting room booking](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#meeting-room-booking) - [Help](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#help) - [Social features](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/for-employees?hsLang=en#social-features) - [Onboarding](https://customers.seatti.co/en/knowledge-base/onboarding?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://customers.seatti.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Seatti_Logo-1.png?width=127&height=55&name=Seatti_Logo-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://seatti.co) Seatti Knowledge Base Copyright © 2026, Seatti GmbH
