Roles and permissions

Who can use this feature?

⭐️ The team member and guest roles, as well as comment-only and read-only workspace 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: The team owner has the highest level of permissions. They have exclusive access to features such as deleting teams. They can also give themselves full access to any workspace they are a member of, and other members can't change their role or remove them from a workspace.

    • 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 can't 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 can't create new or see existing workspaces. Guests need to be explicitly added to workspaces.

Workspace roles

On the workspace level, you can decide which members of your team are allowed to add or edit content and who will only need to view it or comment on it.

To manage workspace roles

  1. Access the workspace settings.

  2. Assign the following roles to the workspace members:

    • Full access: Members with full access can invite new workspace members, modify all workspace content, and more. The team owner can give themselves full access to any workspace they are a member of, and other members can't change their role. The access of guests is limited.

    • Comment-only: Comment-only members can't edit the content of the workspace but they can leave comments and replies.
