Core roles have direct impact on the success of a circle. These roles are essential for a circle to work optimally and are held responsible for the achievement of the circle's purpose. These roles have formal responsibilities in a circle and form the basis of a circle's organizational architecture.

Non-core roles are all the other roles contained in a circle that have direct interest in the circle and its projects. As they are involved in the circle's projects, it is required to consider their view.

Core Roles are present in all circles of your org chart and will be automatically created in the future circles of your organization.

The default core roles on Holaspirit are the roles defined by the Holacracy Constitution 5.0 (Circle Lead, Circle Representative, Secretary, Facilitator).

📌 Note: If your organization practices a different methodology or have its own definition of core roles, they can be modified in the organization's circle settings.
