The 5 built-in roles

Roles are designed to map cleanly to typical agency and in-house structures. Custom roles are available on Enterprise.

  • Owner, full control + billing + workspace deletion (1 per workspace, transferable)
  • Admin, manage members + integrations + billing (multiple allowed)
  • Editor, create/edit projects, run audits, edit reports, no billing
  • Analyst, run analyses + comment, cannot edit shared assets
  • Client Viewer, read-only access to assigned projects only

Workspace vs project scope

Roles apply at two levels. Workspace-level grants apply everywhere; project-level grants are restricted to listed projects.

  • Workspace Admin sees all projects in the workspace
  • Project Editor sees only the projects they are assigned to
  • A user can be Admin in one workspace and Client Viewer in another
  • Project-scoped roles are ideal for freelancer and external auditor access

Agency structure pattern

The common agency setup, one workspace per agency, separate projects per client, Client Viewers scoped to their own project only.

  • Agency staff: Admin or Editor on the workspace
  • Senior strategist: Editor scoped to assigned client projects
  • Client contact: Client Viewer scoped to their single project
  • Freelance specialist: Analyst on specific projects, time-boxed

Time-boxed and conditional access

On Standard and above, you can set expiry dates on invitations and roles, useful for contractors and temporary auditors.

  • Auto-revoke after N days (default 90 for external invites)
  • Restrict by IP allowlist (Enterprise)
  • Require SSO for specific roles (Enterprise)

Auditing access changes

Every role change is logged in the workspace audit log with actor, target, before/after, and timestamp.

  • 12-month retention on Standard, unlimited on Enterprise
  • Filter by user, role, project, or date range
  • Exportable as CSV for compliance reviews (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
