Custom roles in Hygraph allow Project Admins and Owners to define specific sets of permissions for team members. Each custom role can be tailored to control access to content and project management features, ensuring that users only have the permissions necessary for their responsibilities. For more details, see the documentation and demo video.
Hygraph provides granular permissions, allowing you to specify exactly what content (models, stages, locales, environments) each role can access and what actions (read, create, update, delete, publish, unpublish) they can perform. This ensures precise control over who can do what within your content workflows. Learn more in the documentation and demo video.
Conditional permissions in Hygraph let you add field-based checks to your permission settings, granting access only when specific conditions are met. This enables advanced access control based on actual content values. See the documentation for details.
Hygraph allows you to create custom content stages beyond the default DRAFT and PUBLISHED, mapping your editorial workflows to your business needs. You can combine these stages with granular permissions to control which users can read and move content at each stage. For more information, see the documentation and demo video.
Public API permissions in Hygraph let you expose your content API to the public, allowing developers to query data without authentication. You can selectively choose which permissions are available for the public API, making it useful for sharing non-sensitive statistical data. Learn more in the documentation and demo video.
Permanent Auth Tokens (PATs) in Hygraph can be created per project, each with its own set of permissions for both the content and management API. PATs can have granular permissions and conditional checks, providing secure and flexible access for integrations and automation. See the documentation and demo video.

Set up how team members operate within the system, with fine grain permissions, custom workflows and content stages.
Other than system roles, Project Admins and Owners can set up custom roles, each with their own defined set of permissions for content and Hygraph project management.
Define granular permissions for every role in terms of what content they can access (exact models, stage, locales, environments, etc.) and what actions they can perform (read, create, update, delete, publish, unpublish).
Add conditional checks to your permission settings to grant access based on actual field values.
Create custom stages other than the default DRAFT and PUBLISHED stages and map your internal editorial workflows. Combine these with granular permissions to define which users can read and move content for every particular stage.
You can opt to expose your content API to the public and allow developers to query without worrying about authentication. You can selectively choose what permissions are available for the publicly exposed API.
It might be useful to enable public API access if you are storing statistical data that doesn't identify the person it belongs to — an example of this may be the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths recorded in your country, which you want to show on a map or graph.
You can create multiple Permanent Auth Tokens per project, each with its own set of permissions on both the content and management API. Each PAT can have granular permissions defined with conditional checks as well.
