What You Need to Know
Permission Levels

Prevents unauthorized changes to email signatures that could affect brand consistency or compliance.
Benefits of RBAC for Signature Management
Reduced Risk
Only authorized personnel can modify and deploy signatures, reducing the risk of unauthorized or incorrect changes.
Team Collaboration
Multiple teams (marketing, IT, compliance) can collaborate on signatures with clear role boundaries.
Audit Trail
RBAC combined with logging creates a clear record of who made what changes and when.
Scalability
As your organization grows, RBAC makes it easy to onboard new administrators with predefined permission sets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What roles are typically used in signature management?
Common roles include Viewer (can see signatures), Designer (can create/edit templates), Approver (can approve changes before deployment), Deployer (can push signatures to users), and Admin (full access).
Why is RBAC important for email signatures?
Email signatures affect brand image and legal compliance for every outbound email. RBAC ensures that only authorized personnel can make changes, preventing accidental or unauthorized modifications.
Can RBAC be scoped to specific departments?
Yes. In Siggly, administrators can be granted access to manage signatures for specific departments or groups rather than the entire organization, enabling decentralized management with central oversight.
How does RBAC differ from simple admin/user roles?
Simple admin/user models offer only two levels. RBAC provides granular, customizable roles with specific permission sets, enabling more nuanced control over who can do what.
