# Permissions granted to the agent role

Asked by Chloe Bennett on 2026-07-05 · 31 votes

Can agents edit answers written by other agents, or only their own? The documentation is not fully clear on this.

Agents can edit answers they authored themselves, editing someone else answer needs admin or higher. Worth calling that out more clearly in the docs, will fix.

Matches what I ran into as an agent, could edit my own stuff but got a permission error on a teammate answer.

Ran into the exact permission error described here as an agent, matches the documented behavior.

Updated the permissions doc to spell this out more clearly, thanks for flagging the gap.

This is documented now in the updated permissions page, linking here for anyone who finds this thread first.
