Workspace Roles & Permissions

🦸
Every member of your Butter workspace is assigned a role (Owner, Admin or Member). The role determines what permissions they have in the workspace (i.e. managing members, workspace info and billing details).

A quick 1-minute explainer of the four different member roles in your workspace.

Workspace Member Roles & Permissions

There are several member roles, each with its own set of permissions.

Here’s a quick summary of each role. Check out the table below for a full breakdown of each member role’s permissions.

1. Owner

There’s only one owner per workspace. By default, the workspace creator is the owner. If the owner deletes their profile, ownership is automatically transferred to another admin.

The owner has all the same permissions as an admin, but they’re the only user that can delete the entire workspace.

2. Admin

Workspace admins can manage everything in the workspace, but cannot delete it.

They can edit workspace settings, manage billing information, upgrade and manage members, and manage the templates and saved items in the team library.

3. Member

Members have full access to almost all of Butter’s features. They can create unlimited rooms, run sessions, and start sessions from rooms they’ve created or have been invited to as a collaborator.

They can’t manage general or billing settings. They can add and edit items in the workspace library, but they can’t delete other people’s library items.

Here is a quick overview of their different permission levels:

Managing Member Roles

Starting from your workspace dashboard, you can change a workspace member’s role by navigating to Settings > Workspace > Members and then selecting the menu next to the member you want to edit.

Only workspace owners and admins can modify a member’s role.

See Workspace SettingsWorkspace Settings for full details on how to manage the members in your workspace.
