Roles & permissions

TickTad uses four roles to keep a household organised without over-permissioning anyone.

Role Can do
Owner Everything — create and manage tasks, expenses, helpers, invites and settings.
Admin Manage tasks, expenses and helpers, but not change ownership.
Member Create and complete tasks, add notes and lists, and record expenses.
Helper See their assigned tasks, mark them done, and request leave.

Roles matter most in tasks. A helper marks a task done; an owner or admin then confirms it. This two-step flow means work is never just self-reported — it’s verified. See Two-step completion.

Some features are limited to owners and admins:

  • Expenses management and budgets.
  • Helper profile, contract, leave and salary.
  • Inbox (the universal capture tray).

Members and helpers still contribute — they create and complete tasks, add notes and lists, and request leave — they just don’t manage the money or the household itself.

For the full breakdown, see the Roles & permissions matrix.
