Team management

Understand roles and permissions

Know exactly what each team role can and cannot do before you assign them.

Before you start

  • You are setting up roles for a new team or adjusting an existing one.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Team Management.
  2. 2
    Owner — that is you. Everything, including finance and settings.
  3. 3
    Admin — content, streams, comment moderation, analytics, and the team. Not finance, not settings.
  4. 4
    Content Manager — content and comment moderation plus analytics. Cannot run streams or the team.
  5. 5
    Stream Technician — streams and analytics. Cannot touch the video library, comments, or the team.
  6. 6
    Moderator — comment moderation and analytics only.
  7. 7
    Viewer — analytics only, and nothing can be changed.
  8. 8
    To change a member's role, click their name in the team list and select a different role.
  9. 9
    Click Save.

Expected result

Each team member has exactly the level of access they need — no more, no less.

Common problems

A member wants to see finance figures.

Only the Owner sees finance. No other role has that permission, and it cannot be granted separately.

I am looking for an Operator or an Editor role.

Neither exists. Stream Technician is the role that runs broadcasts; Content Manager is the role that runs the video library.

I want to give someone temporary access.

Invite them with the appropriate role, then remove them from the team once the event is over.
