What Are My Capabilities as a Configuration Editor?

Learn what you can do as a Configuration Editor in Teamflect, including onboarding and user management.

Written by Myka

The Configuration Editor role gives you edit access across most of the Teamflect Admin Center — not just user onboarding. Configuration Editors can manage general settings, goal types, review and feedback templates, meeting check-in templates, recognitions, and integrations. The two things Configuration Editors can't do that Global Admins can are view reports and assign admin roles to other users.

Capabilities & Permissions

1. Access to the Admin Center

You can access the Admin Center using the button in the top-right corner of the app, or by visiting its web address directly.

2. User Management

  • Add, remove, and manage Users in your organization.

  • Support onboarding by inviting new users.

  • Manage relationship/manager-source bulk uploads and general user-record settings.

Not included: assigning or changing another user's admin role, viewing the permission-users list, managing user attribute definitions (create/update/delete), or editing another user's manager assignment. These require Global Admin.

3. Goals

  • Manage goal types (create, edit, rank) and goal type settings.

  • Access goal bulk upload, goal periods, and goal notification settings.

  • Manage goal template settings.

Not included: managing or editing goal templates themselves, or using the admin bypass to create goals from restricted template categories — both require Global Admin or a Scoped Admin with the right permissions.

4. Templates

  • Create, edit, clone, and delete review templates.

  • Create, edit, clone, and delete feedback and 360-degree feedback templates.

  • Manage meeting check-in templates, talking points, and keywords.

5. Reviews

  • Manage review templates, automations, cycles, reminders, and cycle membership.

  • Change reviewee/reviewer/calibrator assignments and statuses.

  • Upload reviewee lists and manage cycle links.

6. Recognitions

  • Create, edit, delete, and rank recognition badges.

  • Manage birthday and anniversary recognition automations.

7. Surveys & Feedback

  • Manage feedback questions, 360 cycles and automations, and provider uploads (in addition to the templates above).

8. Integrations

  • Manage general integration settings.

  • Manage the Finch integration (view config, sync attributes, sessions, disconnect).

  • Manage the Tango rewards integration (enable/disable, funding, balance history).

Not included: managing API keys (create/delete/view) or Global-Admin-only AI agent and company-resource indexing settings.

9. Security

  • View and update the Admin Center IP allowlist.

  • Like all admins, access is still subject to the IP allowlist itself once it's configured.

What Configuration Editors Can't Do

  • View reports. Report access is limited to Global Admin, Scoped Admin, and Report Reader.

  • Assign or change admin roles for other users.

  • Manage user attribute definitions or view the permission-users list.

  • Manage API keys or access Global-Admin-only AI agent settings.

  • Edit or manage goal templates themselves (only the settings around them).

HR Use Cases

  1. Smooth Onboarding: Add new hires promptly so they can access goals, reviews, and feedback from day one.

  2. Data Accuracy: Keep the user directory up to date by removing leavers and updating user lists.

  3. Program Configuration: Set up and maintain review cycles, feedback templates, recognition programs, and goal types without needing full Global Admin access.

  4. Integration Management: Configure and maintain connected tools like Finch and Tango.

Configuration Editors have edit access to nearly every configuration area in the Teamflect Admin Center — goals, reviews, feedback, recognitions, meetings, and integrations — while reporting and admin-role assignment remain reserved for Global Admins. This makes the role well suited for someone managing day-to-day program configuration without needing the full scope of a Global Administrator.

Note: some screens may also depend on your organization's plan, licensed modules, or tenant settings.
