What are the workspace roles?

Every person in a workspace is an owner, admin, or editor — the person who creates the workspace is its first owner.

The three roles

• Owner — full control of the workspace, including Team Permissions, organisation access / SSO, join requests, and billing. Every workspace needs at least one owner.
• Admin — can manage membership and most workspace settings: invites and join requests, groups, task sections, team permissions, and organisation access. Admins cannot leave the workspace with zero owners.
• Editor — the default role for people who join. Editors can message, create work, and use Settings for their own preferences (Home sections, notifications, feature requests). They do not see admin-only rows such as Team Permissions or Organisation access.

How someone becomes an owner

1. Create a new workspace — you land in it as owner.
2. Or have an existing owner open Settings → Team Permissions and change your role to Owner.

Tips

• Role names in the product are Owner, Admin, and Editor (not "member"). Editors are still full people in the workspace — they just don't administer it.
• Transfer ownership before demoting the last owner. FabricLoop blocks a change that would leave the workspace with no owner.
• Agents in a workspace are not assigned these human roles.
