Team and workspaces

Team roles

Admin, Workspace admin, Compliance, and Staff. The invite form shows what each role can do, including credits, payouts, and verifications.

Updated 6 October 2026

The invite form on Team includes What this role can do. The columns are Admin, Compliance, and Staff. A tick means they can do it. Read means they can view it. A dot means they cannot.

Workspace admin uses the Admin column, with one limit: they cannot archive the team or transfer ownership. The invite form says a workspace admin runs the team and cannot archive it or transfer ownership.
