Roles and members
Reference for permissions by role, member statuses, table columns, the actions menu, the error messages, and the rules that protect the last Admin.
This page lists the two roles of a workspace, Admin and Viewer, what each role can do in Settings, and the values of the Members tab.
| Role | What the role is for |
|---|---|
| Admin | Can do everything that a Viewer can do, and manages the workspace: the display currency, the members, the API keys, and the billing. |
| Viewer | Can use the product areas of the workspace and can see the Workspace tab and the Members tab without controls to change them. |
