Role Descriptions

Admin

Administrators manage user roles, vaults, address books, and whitelisting. They can create and edit vaults, manage address whitelisting, and view/manage the address book.

Admin Approver

Admin approvers serve as part of the administrator quorum required to approve changes for whitelisting and address book management.

Initiator

Initiators conduct day-to-day transaction initiation, focusing on transaction and policy management. They can initiate and cancel transactions, connect via MMI or Wallet Connect, manage address whitelisting and books, and view vaults, deposit addresses, and policies.

Approver

Approvers review and authorize transactions and message signing via the Hex Safe mobile app but cannot initiate transactions. They have limited user management permissions and view-only access to account management.

Auditor

Auditors possess authority to review financial records and ensure compliance. Their access is view-only across user management, account management, vaults, and transaction/policy management.

Trader

Traders execute transactions and access comprehensive transaction data. They can view settlement and order history and execute trades but cannot initiate or approve withdrawals from the Trading Vault.

Trade Viewer

Trade Viewers hold view-only permissions, able to monitor settlement and order history but unable to execute trades or manage withdrawals.
