Roles and Permissions
Understand what each organization role can do and how permissions work.
Organization roles vs meeting roles
This page covers organization roles — what someone can do in the Admin Panel and platform.
Meeting roles (Host, Co-Host, Presenter, Attendee) are different and control what someone can do inside a meeting. Those are covered in the User Guide.
Organization Roles
Owner
The Owner is the highest-level role with complete control over the organization.
How you become an Owner:
- You automatically become the Owner of any organization you create
- An organization can have only one Owner
What Owners can do:

- Promote members to Admin
- Demote or remove Admins

Changing a Member's Role
Promoting a Member to Admin
Only the Owner can promote someone to Admin:
- Go to Admin Panel → Settings → Members
- Find the member in the list
- Click to view their details
- Change their role to Admin
- Save changes
Demoting an Admin to Member
Only the Owner can demote an Admin:
- Go to Admin Panel → Settings → Members
- Find the admin in the list
- Click to view their details
- Change their role to Member
- Save changes
Role changes take effect immediately
When you change someone's role, their permissions update right away. If an Admin is demoted while using the Admin Panel, they'll lose access on their next action.
Best Practices
Who Should Be an Admin?
Make someone an Admin if they need to:
- Manage team members (invite, remove)
- Create and configure rooms
- Monitor organization-wide activity
- Handle billing and subscription changes
Keep the Admin List Small
More admins means more people who can make significant changes. Consider:
- Most team members should be Members
- Reserve Admin for those who actually need management access
- The Owner should be someone who won't leave the organization unexpectedly
Admin is a sensitive role
Admins have access to billing information, payment methods, and can make significant changes to your organization. Only grant Admin access to trusted individuals. Granular roles (like billing-only access) are coming soon.
Coming Soon
- Billing Admin — A role with access only to billing and subscription management
- Granular permissions — More fine-grained control over specific actions
- Custom roles — Define your own roles with specific permission sets
