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. 1Open Team Management.
  2. 2Owner — that is you. Full access to everything including billing and account settings.
  3. 3Admin — can manage streams, videos, rooms, and team members, but not billing.
  4. 4Operator — can create and manage streams, videos, and rooms. Cannot manage team or billing.
  5. 5Moderator — can manage room participants and stream chat. Cannot create streams.
  6. 6Editor — can upload and edit videos and manage video metadata. Cannot go live.
  7. 7Viewer — read-only access to the dashboard. Cannot change anything.
  8. 8To change a member's role, click their name in the team list and select a different role.
  9. 9Click Save.

Expected result

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

Common problems

An operator is trying to access billing.

Only Owners and Admins can see billing. This is by design.

A moderator accidentally went live.

Moderators cannot create streams. If this happened, check whether they were incorrectly assigned the Operator role.

I want to give someone temporary access.

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