Roles & Permissions
Understand what each team role can do in your workspace
On this page
Every workspace member has a role that determines what they can do. Here's how it all works.

Owner
There's exactly one owner per workspace—the person who created it. The owner has full control: managing members, credits, settings, and the workspace itself.
The owner can do everything an admin can, plus:
- Transfer ownership to another admin
- Delete the workspace entirely
Admin
Admins are your team managers. They can invite people, fund the credit pool, set credit allowances, manage projects, and handle day-to-day workspace operations.
The only things an admin can't do are transfer ownership and delete the workspace.
When to use this role: Team leads, project managers, department heads—anyone who needs to manage the team without being the account holder.
Editor
Editors are your creators. They can generate visuals, use shared brand kits and design styles, and work within their credit allowance.
They can't invite members, manage credits, or change workspace settings.
When to use this role: Designers, content creators, social media managers—people who need to create but don't need admin access.
Reviewer
Reviewers can see everything in the workspace but can't create anything. They browse visuals, download them, and view edit history. They don't get credit allowances because they can't generate.
When to use this role: Clients reviewing work, managers who just need visibility, stakeholders who need to approve content.
Changing Roles
Owners and admins can change any member's role from workspace settings. Find the member in the Members tab and update their role.
A few rules:
- You can't change the owner's role directly (use ownership transfer instead)
- Admins can change other members' roles but can't demote themselves from admin
- Changing someone to Reviewer will remove their credit allowance
Transferring Ownership
If the workspace owner needs to step away, they can transfer ownership to any admin. Go to workspace Settings → General and you'll find the Transfer Ownership option.
This is a one-way action:
- The selected admin becomes the new owner
- The previous owner becomes an admin
- All other members and settings stay the same
Only the current owner can do this, and the target must already be an admin.
Now that roles are clear, learn how the credit system works in Workspace Credits & Allowances.
