Roles and Permissions

PropellerDeck uses a role-based permission system to control what each team member can access and do within your organization. When you invite someone, you assign them one of four roles.

Owner

The Owner has complete control over the organization. Owners can:

• Manage all organization settings, including name and branding
• Add and remove members at any role level
• Manage billing and subscription plans
• Create, edit, and delete any product, repository, or project
• Transfer ownership to another member

Each organization has at least one Owner. You become the Owner automatically when you create an organization.

Admin

The Admin role provides broad management access without billing control. Admins can:

• Invite and remove Members and Experts
• Create and manage products and repositories
• Access all workspaces and projects within the organization
• Manage documentation and workspace templates

Admins cannot modify billing settings or remove Owners.

Member

The Member role is the standard collaboration level for most team members. Members can:

• Use workspaces and run AI agents
• View and contribute to projects
• Access documentation shared within the organization
• Use workspace templates created by Admins or Owners

Members cannot invite other users or manage organization-level settings.

Expert

The Expert role is designed for external consultants participating in expert sessions. Experts have limited, session-scoped access and cannot manage organization resources. This role keeps your broader organization settings and data private while allowing focused collaboration.

How Permissions Are Applied

Permissions are enforced throughout the platform — the navigation items, pages, and actions visible to a user depend directly on their role. If a team member cannot see a feature, check that their role grants the required permission level. To change a member's role, see Managing Members.
