## Resource

Lucas and Luna explore how product-led growth companies use self-serve role-based access control (RBAC) to expand from team-level wins to enterprise-wide adoption. They break down a real case: how a collaboration tool like Notion or Asana lets a free user invite teammates with viewer, editor, or admin roles — turning a single sign-up into a ten-seat sale. Lucas explains why RBAC reduces sales friction, citing data from OpenView that PLG companies with granular roles see 30% faster enterprise deal cycles. Luna challenges whether too many roles confuse users, pointing to a 2024 Gartner stat that 40% of SaaS admins find role configuration overwhelming. They land on a sweet spot: three to five roles plus custom permissions for large accounts. The episode closes with a forward look at AI-powered role suggestions that adapt to user behavior. #PLG #ProductLedGrowth #SelfServe #RBAC #UserRoles #EnterpriseSales #SaaS #GoToMarket #CustomerExpansion #B2BSaaS #AccessControl #Onboarding #SalesFriction #OpenView #Gartner #Notion #Asana #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
