Roles: admin, editor, viewer

Every person on your team has one of three roles. The person who set up the business is an admin; everyone else gets the role they were invited with. Admins change roles under Settings → Team.

  • Admin: everything, including settings, billing, connections and the team.
  • Editor: the content. Pages, photos, posts, reviews and the writing style.
  • Viewer: read-only. Sees what an editor sees, changes nothing.

Viewers don’t see a Settings link at all. Editors see it, and inside it only Writing style.

If you try to save something your role can’t change, the page shows a banner instead of saving:

  • “Only admins can change this. Ask an admin for access.”
  • “Only admins and editors can change this. Ask an admin for access.”

Nothing is lost; ask an admin to make the change or to change your role.

A role is set per business. Someone who belongs to more than one business can be an admin on one and a viewer on another; see Multiple businesses on one account.
