Roles and permissions control what team members can do. Understanding these helps you organize your team effectively and maintain security.
Available Roles
Owner
The team creator automatically becomes the Owner. Owners have full control:
- All Admin permissions
- Delete the team
- Transfer ownership to another member
- Manage billing (if applicable)
Admin
Admins can manage most aspects of the team:
- Create and edit events
- Invite and remove members
- Change member roles (except Owner)
- Modify team settings
- Manage sub-teams (if applicable)
Member
Members are regular team participants:
- Create events
- View all team events
- Mark availability
- View team 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:
- Create Events: Owner, Admin, Member

- Delete Events: Owner, Admin, Event Creator
- Invite Members: Owner, Admin

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 team 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
