List roles

What are Roles? Roles define what users can see and do in the workspace. Each role has a set of permissions that control access to features like creating projects, managing tasks, viewing reports, and more.

What is returned: This endpoint returns all roles available in the workspace, including:

Base roles: System-defined roles that cannot be modified (Root, CEO, Team Leader, Staff, Guest)
Custom roles: User-created roles that can be edited and deleted

Role properties:

Each role includes name, description, icon, and type (normal or guest)
The readOnly flag indicates if a role is a base role (cannot be modified)
Parent role relationships show permission inheritance hierarchy
Roles are returned in the user’s preferred language

Use cases:

Display role selection dropdowns in user management interfaces
Show available roles when assigning permissions to users
Build role management interfaces that distinguish between base and custom roles
