Why this matters

If you’ve wondered:

  • “Why can’t I see a certain meeting or feature?”

  • “Why can’t I manage this for other users?”

  • “What permission do I need?”

These questions are usually related to how access is set up in Jump. Permissions are made up of a few separate layers that work together.


How access works in Jump


1) Seat type

Your seat type determines your baseline access to Jump.

  • Full users typically run meetings and use automations

  • Lite users typically support workflows

Seat type is separate from admin roles and account ownership, which can be assigned independently.

2) Admin roles

Admin roles give users additional access to specific parts of Jump.

Users can have one, multiple, or no admin roles, regardless of whether they are Full or Lite users.

3) Account owner

An account owner has access to account-level settings. This includes:

  • Managing users and seats

  • Creating and managing teams

  • Assigning admin roles

  • Accessing billing and account settings

Regular users (non–account owners) do not have access to these controls.

4) Plan

Your Jump plan determines which features are available to you.

Some features—and related admin roles—may only be available on certain plans.

Note: Depending on your firm's or broker-dealer's compliance policies, you may not have access to all features included in your Jump plan.


Admin roles in Jump

Below is a quick overview of the main admin roles and what they unlock. Availability may vary by plan and by firm.

Team Admin

What it does:

  • View, edit, and sync meeting notes for other users on a team.

Common use case:

  • Advisors and staff collaborating on shared client work.

Important:

  • This only applies within a team.

  • Being on a team alone does not grant access—users must be set as a Team Admin.

Scheduling Admin

Does NOT include:

  • Access to meeting notes, transcripts, CRM data, or other Jump features


Insights Admin

What it does:

  • View Insights across all users

  • Edit reports, scorecards, and Insights settings

  • Access the Reports tab

Common use case:

  • Team members responsible for performance tracking and reporting

Compliance Admin

What it does:

  • View and manage compliance reports and settings

  • Access usage reports

Common use case:

  • Compliance or supervisory roles

Does NOT include:

  • Billing, user management, or Insights access


Summary

  • Seat type → what you do day-to-day

  • Admin roles → what you can see & manage for others

  • Account owner → who controls the firm-level account

  • Plan → which features are available to you

Understanding these layers helps ensure the right people have the right access—without over-granting permissions.
