Roles and permissions control what organization members can do. Understanding these helps you organize your organization effectively and maintain security.
Available Roles
Owner
The organization creator automatically becomes the Owner. Owners have full control:
- All Admin permissions
- Delete the organization
- Transfer ownership to another member
- Manage billing (if applicable)
Admin
Admins can manage most aspects of the organization:
- Create and edit events
- Invite and remove members
- Change member roles (except Owner)
- Modify organization settings
- Manage subteams (if applicable)
Member
Members are regular organization participants:
- Create events
- View all organization events
- Mark availability
- View organization members
- Cannot manage other members or settings
Viewer
Viewers have read-only access:
- View events
- Mark their own availability
- Cannot create events
- Cannot view member list (in some configurations)
Permission Details
Here's a breakdown of specific permissions:

Best Practices
- Start conservative: Give new members the Member role initially, promote to Admin if needed
- Limit Admins: Only make trusted members Admins to maintain organization security
- Use Viewers: For people who just need to see events but don't need to create them
- Review regularly: Periodically review member roles to ensure they still match their responsibilities
