When developing labs on Skillable Studio, various development functions will require different permissions. If you are an Organization Administrator, this guide will cover which roles are needed for lab developers to utilize certain features.
Philosophy
The Organization Lab Developer role set on Skillable Studio uses an additive model where common functions are enabled by Base Roles, and additional functionality is given via Supplemental Roles. This allows for modular customization of permissions for an Organization while giving developers the specific permissions needed for their workflow.
