Teams: user roles and 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. It is not mandatory for the Owner 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.
  
  

• Member:
  A team member who has permission to manage publications on the teams they are on. It is the default role when you join an organization.
