Roles and permissions

Who can use this feature?

⭐️ The team member and guest roles, as well as workspace commenter and reader roles are available on the paid plans.

Team roles

On the team level, the roles and permissions assigned to your team members define how much control they would have over basic team settings, billing, app integrations, and so on.

To manage team roles

  1. Access the team settings.

  2. Assign the following roles to your team members:

    • Owner: Owners have the highest level of permissions. Owners have exclusive access to features such as deleting teams.

    • Admin: Admins have a high level of permissions, especially regarding workspaces. They can execute dangerous actions such as deleting entire workspaces irreversibly.

    • Member: Members are available on the paid plans. They have enough permissions for daily usage, but cannot execute dangerous actions such as deleting workspaces or teams. Their permissions can be restricted further using advanced security controls.

    • Guest: Guests are available on the paid plans. They have no access to the team settings and cannot create new or see existing workspaces. Guests need to be explicitly added to workspaces.
