My role can't see this screen - why?

Two kinds of access gates (plan + role) and how to check which one is blocking you.

You're trying to open something in Apragya AI and the sidebar item is missing, or you get a "you don't have permission" message. There are two reasons that can happen - one's a plan thing, the other's a role thing.

Reason 1: your plan doesn't include this feature

Some features only exist on certain plan tiers. If yours doesn't include a feature, the sidebar hides it - no greyed-out icon, just nothing. Examples: SSO needs Business plan or above, custom roles need Business+, multi-region deployment needs Enterprise.

To check: Sidebar > Admin > Billing > Plan > Features - shows everything your current plan includes. If the feature you want isn't there, the answer is to upgrade.

Reason 2: your role doesn't have permission

The feature is included on your plan, but your role isn't granted access. The sidebar item shows, but clicking it gives a "no permission" error - or the action button is greyed out.

To check: ask your Org Admin to look at Sidebar > Admin > RBAC > [the app] > [your role] > permissions matrix. They can grant the missing permission in seconds; you won't see it until they do.

How to tell which one it is

  • Sidebar item completely missing - usually a plan gate (or your role can't access the entire app)
  • Sidebar item visible but clicking shows "no permission" - role gate
  • Sidebar item visible, page opens, but specific action button greyed out - role-level permission for that specific action
Admin tip: plan gates run BEFORE role gates. Even if your role has the permission, you won't get it if your plan doesn't include the feature. Always check the plan first when troubleshooting access.
