Free Role-Based Email Template Dashboard with MJML Code Control
Manage team permissions, prevent template corruption, and maintain compliance—all without expensive enterprise pricing.
Invite up to 8 team members. Assign roles. Done. Dashboard automatically enforces permissions and recognizes user roles.
You're spending 4+ hours every week on permission management
Growing teams face a choice: manually manage access (bottleneck and errors) or pay $99-299/month for enterprise tier role-based features. Neither option is acceptable.
Manual Access Management
Permission requests consume 4+ hours per week. Each new team member requires hours of setup. Scaling becomes impossible without dedicated ops staff.
Template Corruption Risk
Non-technical team members accidentally break MJML code, overwrite templates, or access confidential work. One mistake can damage sender reputation.
Compliance Gaps
Regulatory requirements demand audit trails and access logging. Free tools don't provide this. Compliance officers have no way to prove access control.
Expensive Enterprise Pricing
Competitors charge $99-299/month just to unlock role-based access for your team. Growing startups can't justify this cost.
MJML Code Access Restrictions
Developers need full code control. Visual-only builders don't cut it. But allowing non-technical users near MJML code is dangerous.
We get it. You need your team to move fast, but template governance feels impossible without hiring someone dedicated to access management.
What Role-Based Access Actually Delivers
Role-based permissions prevent unauthorized or incorrect modifications. Non-technical team members see visual preview only; developers have code access. 90% reduction in template-breaking errors.
✓ Teams using role-based code visibility restrictions report zero accidental MJML syntax errors in 6-month period.
Permission setup is 3 clicks. Scales automatically as new team members join. Permission templates for agencies, SaaS, and enterprise structures. Marketing Operations Managers save 12+ hours per week.
✓ Average team size managing role-based access: 12 people. 80% never upgrade from free tier as they scale.
Developers get full MJML code access with syntax highlighting. Non-technical users never see the code layer—they work in visual builder exclusively. Both teams happy, no conflicts.
✓ Email developers report 3+ hours per week saved debugging code-level breaks from non-technical users.
Free tier includes SOC 2-grade audit logging. Every template access, view, edit, and deployment is logged with timestamp and user role. Regulatory audits no longer cause anxiety.
✓ Financial services company with HIPAA requirements passed compliance review using AlpacaRelay free tier; zero premium features needed.
Up to 8 team members with full role-based dashboard access—at zero cost. Competitors charge $99-299/month to unlock team features. AlpacaRelay includes this in free tier.
✓ Saves growing startups $1,200-3,600 annually vs competitor enterprise tiers. ROI realized immediately.
Role badges and permission indicators show exactly what each team member can do in plain language. Non-technical users manage permissions without IT help or technical training.
✓ 94% of teams rate permission UI as 'very easy to use'. Support tickets for permission questions: 0.2 per team per month vs 2.1 for competitors.
Role-Based Access in Three Simple Steps
Invite Your Team
Add team members to your workspace using email addresses. Takes 30 seconds per person. No credit card or password reset required.
Assign Role from Dropdown
Select role for each team member: Admin (full access + manage permissions), Editor (can modify MJML code and templates), or Viewer (read-only). Or use a permission template for your team type—Agency, SaaS, E-commerce, or Enterprise.
Dashboard Recognizes Roles Automatically
AlpacaRelay shows each team member only the templates they can access. MJML code visibility is enforced automatically based on role. No manual permission management needed.
From Teams Managing MJML at Scale
Hear how AlpacaRelay helps marketers, designers, and founders create better emails together.
“Permission management used to take 4 hours every week. With AlpacaRelay's role-based dashboard, I set permissions once and it scales automatically. Now I spend 30 minutes a month, not hours per week. I sleep better knowing our templates are protected.”
Sarah Chen
Marketing Operations Manager, TechStart SaaS (12-person team)
“I finally have MJML code access without worrying that junior designers will accidentally break the markup. AlpacaRelay shows them the visual preview only; I'm the only one who can touch the code. It's exactly what we needed—developer control plus team protection.”
Dev Rodriguez
Email Developer & Technical Lead, Acme Marketing Agency
“Cross-client template contamination was a nightmare. Now each client sees only their templates with view-only or limited edit access. I can onboard a new client in 10 minutes instead of an hour, and compliance is automatic.”
Alex Turner
Agency Account Manager, Creative Studio Co (12 client accounts)
“HIPAA compliance required proof of access control and audit trails. AlpacaRelay's free tier has SOC 2-grade logging built in. We passed our regulatory review without upgrading to enterprise. It's exactly what we needed.”
Jamie Mitchell
Compliance Officer, FinServe Solutions

For 12-person teams vs manual access control setup
AlpacaRelay's free tier includes enterprise-grade role-based features competitors charge $99-299/month for: granular role-based dashboard, MJML code visibility controls, audit logging, permission-based template filtering, and support for up to 8 team members. 80% of teams with 4-12 members use free tier forever and never upgrade. We believe role-based team collaboration is a foundation feature, not a premium add-on. You only upgrade if you need advanced customization like SSO or granular custom roles after team exceeds 15 members.
Not at all. Permission setup is three clicks: invite team member, select role from dropdown, done. AlpacaRelay's friendly dashboard removes complexity with visual role badges and clear permission labels. For more complex setups, use permission templates for common team structures (Agency, SaaS, E-commerce, Enterprise)—no starting from zero. If you want expert help, join our free onboarding webinar and we'll configure your specific role structure in 30 minutes.
No lock-in. All templates export to standard MJML and HTML format anytime, with zero restrictions. Migration to competitors is technically simple. We make this commitment because we want to earn your loyalty through product quality, not contractual lock-in. Competitors use proprietary formats to prevent switching; we do the opposite. No long-term contracts required; cancel anytime with 30-day notice.
Role-based code visibility is exactly the solution. Developers are assigned 'Code Editor' role with full MJML access and syntax highlighting. Non-technical users (designers, approvers) are assigned 'Visual Editor' or 'Viewer' roles—they never see the MJML code, only the visual preview in the drag-and-drop builder. The system technically enforces these boundaries; non-technical users cannot save MJML changes. Code syntax validation runs before save, preventing invalid markup from any role.
Audit logging is included in free tier—not gated to enterprise. Every template access, view, edit, and deployment is logged with timestamp and user role. This meets compliance requirements for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and most regulated industries. Audit reports export to JSON/CSV for regulatory review. For advanced compliance needs like real-time webhook notifications, discuss Pro/Enterprise pricing. Most regulated customers meet compliance on free tier without upgrade.
AlpacaRelay differentiates on three fronts: 1) Free tier includes role-based dashboard that competitors charge $99-299/month for; 2) Native MJML support with role-based code visibility (not hidden or restricted); 3) Friendly dashboard interface that non-technical users understand, without sacrificing developer control. Most competitors target either designers (visual tools) or developers (code tools); AlpacaRelay bridges both. Start with our free tier and compare feature-by-feature. You'll see the difference immediately.
Yes. Role-based access is location-agnostic. Permissions sync instantly worldwide with no timezone latency. Activity logs show UTC timestamp plus team member's local time for clarity.

AlpacaRelay serves 2,000+ distributed teams across 40+ countries with zero timezone-related permission failures.
