Default Roles

Every new team receives four built-in roles. You can create additional custom roles in Team Settings → Roles.

Roles are ordered by rank (zIndex). Higher rank can manage lower rank—not the reverse.

Owner

• Rank: highest (system maximum)
• Colour: red (#ef4444)
• Permissions: Administrator flag — bypasses all permission checks
• Special rules:
  • Cannot be removed from the team
  • Cannot leave the team voluntarily
  • Only Owners see Delete Team
  • Billing and Stripe portal require Owner or explicit Manage Billing

There is exactly one logical “owner” member (the user who created the team, unless transferred manually via DB/admin).

Admin

• Rank: 90
• Colour: orange
• Typical use: team leads, ops, IT

Includes all standard permissions except the Administrator bypass:

• Manage Team, Members, Billing
• Create & Manage Spaces
• Full space/page defaults: read, write, manage spaces; read, write, delete pages; comment, attach, manage comments

Admins can approve/reject decisions and reset lifecycle status.

Editor

• Rank: 80
• Colour: blue
• Typical use: contributors who propose and discuss decisions

Can:

• Read spaces; write in spaces (create pages)
• Read & write pages; comment; upload attachments

Cannot:

• Manage team settings, billing, or members
• Delete pages (unless given custom role)
• Approve/reject decisions (unless promoted)

Member

• Rank: 70 (lowest default — default for new invites)
• Colour: grey
• Typical use: read-only participants

Can:

• Read spaces and pages
• View decisions and discussions

Cannot create pages/decisions or comment unless given a higher role or scoped overrides (Pro+).

Changing roles

Team Settings → Members — requires Manage Members and sufficient rank.

Team Settings → Roles — edit permission checkboxes for custom roles; Owner role name is reserved.
