> Onboard into a Role grants the new holder only the Permissions the seat needs, hands them its contract, and sets the first Role review.

Onboard into a Role grants the new holder only the [Permissions](/business/nouns/permission) the seat needs, hands them its contract, and sets the first [Role](/business/nouns/role) review.

## Trigger
Runs on [`Role.staffed`](/business/events/Role.staffed). Part of [Staffing](/workflows/processes/staffing), run by the [People Team](/agents/people).

## Steps
1. Grant the Permissions the Role needs, and nothing more.
2. Send the new holder the Role contract: its responsibilities, Limits, Processes and Metrics.
3. Record a person as onboarded once they accept the contract.
4. Set the first Role review for 30 days in.

## Outputs
- [Permission](/business/nouns/permission)
- [Message](/business/nouns/message)
- [Task](/business/nouns/task)

## Example
A founder invites their cofounder to the [Engineering Lead](/agents/engineering/engineering-lead) seat. The cofounder gets that seat's Permissions only, reads the contract, and accepts it on day one. A Role review lands on the founder's list for day 30.
