The platform is fully transparent in its standard configuration, so all goals (Objectives, Key Results, Initiatives, and KPIs) are visible to all users. Private OKRs and KPIs are available in the Supreme version of Perdoo. Otherwise, actions on the platform are limited to your user role.

To view your role, go to Personal settings (top-right corner where your avatar is) > Profile tab > Role.


Roles explained

You’ll find four different roles in Perdoo:

  • View-only can access Perdoo to see all goals and profiles.

  • Standard users can only create and edit goals in Teams they are a member of (unless assigned as a Contributor to a goal).

  • Admins can create, edit, and delete all Team goals, and manage/invite users.

  • Superadmins can create, edit and delete all goals and strategy, and adjust company settings.

💡 Pro tip: If you see an error saying you don't have rights to do perform an action, it means that you're trying to perform an action beyond those granted by your role. In that case, please contact your Ambassador or a (Super)admin to adjust your role.
