Roles and permissions

Every person in an organization holds exactly one role, and that role decides what they can change.

The roles

• Owner — full access, including billing and deleting the organization.
• Admin — full access to the work; the organization's operators alongside owners.
• Employee — a member who can do the work but not run the organization.
• Staff — a managed member: joins by code, is approved, and takes a team seat once activated.
• Contractor — a managed member who is view-only.

Why contractors cannot edit

Contractors are shown the specific projects, gigs and budgets they were put on. They can read them, comment on them and answer approval requests — but they cannot change the organization's data. This is deliberate: contractors never take a team seat, on any plan, so an organization that could run entirely on contractors would have an editing team outside its plan's seat limit.

If a contractor needs to edit, change their role to staff. That takes one of your plan's team seats.
