Team roles and permissions

An explanation of the Owner / Admin / Agent roles and what each role can do.

Team page: invite members and set their roles and permissions

The three roles

👑 Owner

  • Full permissions over everything
  • The only one who can:
    • Delete the account
    • Change the primary email
    • Manage billing
    • Invite and remove admins
  • There is only one owner per account (company)

🛠 Admin

  • Manages users (adds and removes agents)
  • Manages templates and campaigns
  • Connects WhatsApp accounts
  • Manages contacts
  • Cannot: change billing, delete the account

💼 Agent

  • Uses the inbox to reply to customers
  • Views templates and campaigns (read-only)
  • Cannot: create campaigns, edit templates, manage contacts

Inviting a new team member

  1. Go to Team
  2. + Invite member:
    • Email (they'll receive an invite link)
    • Role (Admin / Agent)
  3. We'll send them a welcome email containing:
    • A link to set their password
    • Their sign-in details
  4. As soon as they accept the invite, they appear in the list

Changing a member's role

  • Go to Team
  • Click the user → Edit role
  • Choose the new role → Save

Removing a member

  • Click the user → Remove from team
  • Their data (the messages they wrote) remains saved under their name
  • They lose access immediately after removal

For anyone asking: what's the difference between Owner and Admin?

Best practices

  • Don't share the Owner account — create separate users
  • Use Admin for the site manager
  • Use Agent for support/reply staff
  • Review the team list periodically and remove anyone who no longer needs access

Common issues

"The agent can't see the campaigns"

That's normal — Agents have read-only access to campaigns. Change their role to Admin if they need to create them.

"The owner has left us — how do we transfer ownership?"

Contact support at [email protected] — we need to verify your identity and the new owner before completing the transfer.
