I appreciate the help, but it still sounds complicated.

I found the notion permission system to be very understandable. But it was based on a hierarchical folder structure it seems.

Also, I’m really missing the functionality to add groups, from the account level. And then assign groups to a space, database, etc. It might be possible but couldn’t figure out why.

Also similar to notion:

I think that’s a path you are not able to take anymore, but I’m not seeing the added value with Fibery’s permission system just yet. Maybe once I figure it all out. Could just be me 😅
