Changing Member Roles
Admins and Owners can change member roles: Find member in team list, Click role dropdown, Select new role, Confirm change. Role takes effect immediately. User is notified of role change via email.
Be careful downgrading roles - users lose access to features immediately, including in-progress work.

You cannot remove yourself from the team. Another Admin or Owner must remove you.
Brand Access
Team members have access to all brands within the organization based on their role. Brand-specific permissions are coming in a future update.
Content Ownership
Content (posts, campaigns, documents) is owned by the organization, not individual users. This means: Content persists if user leaves, All team members can access organization content, Ownership is at the organization level, not user level.
Activity Tracking
Track team member activity with: Last login date, Content creation count, Recent actions log (coming soon). This helps managers understand team engagement and workload distribution.
Best Practices
- Use CREATOR role for content teams and freelancers
- Use MANAGER role for content directors and team leads
- Use ADMIN role sparingly - only for trusted leadership
- Use VIEWER role for stakeholders who need visibility only
- Regularly audit team members and remove inactive users
- Document your team's role structure in internal wiki
- Train new members on permissions and workflows
Security Considerations
Follow security best practices: Remove users immediately when they leave, Don't share Owner credentials, Use least-privilege principle (lowest role needed), Regularly review and audit team access, Use strong passwords and 2FA (coming soon).
