What’s in this article

Role types: Org admin, team admin, and Team member

A Team member can only check content. They can view Suggestions customizations, terms, and snippets in their own Team, but they can’t edit them.

A Team admin can edit suggestions, terms, and snippets for a specific Team. Team admins can add and remove members on their Team where they are an admin, but they won’t be able to invite new users to the org. They can access Reporting, but only for the Team they are an admin for. They can also build and create pages in the style guide. They won’t have access to any admin panel features such as Security, Single Sign-on, or Billing.

Note: A user can be a Team member in one Team and a Team admin in another.

An Org admin can edit all Team customizations (suggestions, terms, snippets), invite Team members, and access all admin panel settings.
