Can't make any edits to baserow tables, databases, etc. Can just fill in cells!

Are you using our SaaS platform (Baserow.io) or self-hosting Baserow?

SaaS

What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

My team’s admin upgraded to the Advanced plan last Friday, and since then, I can’t make any changes to the composition of our database.

For example, I can fill in the cells in a table, I can add rows and columns to the table, but I can’'t create/delete tables or databases! There used to be buttons like “+add table” or “+Add database” but now I can’t see them at all.

I’ve checked with my admin and I have an Editor role, which should let me make these changes, but I still can’t! Any help is appreciated.

hello @HSalsi, here is an overview of what each role grants in a Workspace, Database or Table, in order of their hierarchy:

  1. Admin: Can do everything a Builder can do, including inviting workspace members, controlling their permissions and managing subscriptions of a workspace.
  2. Builder: Can do everything an Editor can do, plus creating, and editing fields, tables, views and databases.
  3. Editor: Can do everything a Commenter can do, plus editing cell values and creating and deleting rows in tables.
  4. Commenter: Can do everything a Viewer can do, including reading and writing row comments.
  5. Viewer: Can only read databases, tables, views, fields, cells, comments, and trash.
  6. No Role: Only users at the Workspace level can be assigned the No Role permission.

To create a new table or delete one, you need Builder permissions. Please ask your admin to upgrade your role. :blush:
