People and roles

Who can do what on your team.

Everyone has a role

Everyone on a team has one role, and each role can do everything the role below it can.

RoleWhat it can do
ownerEverything an admin can, plus billing and deleting the team.
adminEverything a member can, plus people, activity and deleting sites.
memberCan build, change and publish sites, and manage submissions.
viewerCan see the team's sites, but can't change them.

Invite people

Admins and the owner invite people by email from People, and choose their role. The email links to a page where they join, with the account they have or a new one.

An invitation counts toward your plan's people until it's accepted. You can send it again or cancel it until then.

Change a role, or leave

An admin can change someone's role or remove them, up to their own role. Ownership moves only by transfer: the owner hands the team to someone else on it and becomes an admin.

Anyone can leave a team except its owner, who transfers ownership first. Invitations, joins, role changes and removals are all recorded in Activity.
