Teams: user roles and permissions

• Roles
• Permissions

When you include a user in an organization, you allocate them a specific role. The role dictates the permissions and actions that they are authorized to perform within teams.

Roles

The available roles are:

• Owner:
  Automatically assigned to the person who creates the organization. No one else can become an owner. The Owner doesn't need to be a team member and this role has permission to manage publications, members, and teams across all organizations.
  
  

• Admin:
  A team member with the same privileges as the owner. To become an Admin you need to be a member of a team and have your role changed by the owner or another admin.
  
  

• Contributor:
  A team member who has permission to upload/create, edit, publish, distribute, and delete content in the team workspace they belong to.

Permissions

The table below provides a summary of the permissions that are available for each role:

* Owner and Admin roles can manage publications in all teams' workspaces in the organization. Contributors can manage publications only in the teams' workspaces they are allocated.

Setting a role to a member (Admin or Contributor)

1.  To access the "Team Settings", hover your mouse over your profile picture located at the top right corner.

2. After clicking on "Team Settings", navigate to the left-side navigation bar and then click on "Members".

3. On the Organization's member page, you can select the role you wish for a specific user (as in the screenshot below).

After the update is complete, you will see a message confirming that the role has been successfully updated.
