Licences and Roles Explained
Last updated: August 7, 2026
Every person on your account has a role, and that role determines what they can see and do — which clients and reports they have access to, whether they can view other people's meetings, and whether they can manage the team or see organisation-wide analytics.
Roles shape day-to-day usability of our platform, so it's worth understanding your own so you know how you can make the most out of our platform.
The Roles
Role | Description |
|---|---|
Admin | Organisation administrator with full management capabilities |
Advisor | Financial adviser who works directly with clients |
Paraplanner | Support staff who assist advisers with documentation |
Paraplanner+ | Enhanced Paraplanner with additional integration access, functioning as a combined Adviser + Paraplanner licence |
Supervisor | Team supervisor with oversight capabilities |
Support | Support staff with advisory capabilities |
Please Note: Admin isn't a distinct role, rather a permission layer that provides the user with full management capabilities that gets added to whichever base role someone already has.
Someone with Admin permissions is usually still an Advisor or Paraplanner+ underneath.

Evie and Emma (Report Creation) Access
Evie — meeting notes, transcripts, fact finds, and email summaries — is built for the Adviser side of the workflow.
Emma — suitability letters, annual reviews, and LOA summaries — is built for the Paraplanner side.
Paraplanner+ gets both, since it's effectively an Adviser and Paraplanner licence combined.
