Permission matrix: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does a permission matrix show?
A permission matrix crosses roles with actions and marks each grant as used, unused, added or removed in a draft. Grants nobody uses stand out. Use it for role reviews and least-privilege clean-ups.
Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.
What is the Permission matrix component?
It is one <PermissionMatrix> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is a grant state per role and action.
Sizes XS, S, M and L re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.
When should I use it?
- Are several roles compared? Yes means the permission matrix fits.
- Are grants yes or no? Yes means the permission matrix fits.
- Is it access, not ownership? Yes means the permission matrix fits.
When does another type fit better?
- One key's reach. Use Reach tree instead.
- Counts per cell. Use Cells matrix instead.
- Owners and health. Use Ownership matrix instead.
Permission matrix questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
Add your token and the @chartory registry once, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/permission-matrix. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the permission matrix chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
A grant state per role and action. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.
XS, S, M and L, in Figma and in code. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. chart/127-permission-matrix has the same properties as the component.
Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.
Code and Complete. Figma has the Figma file only.
