What are the differences between team owner, admin, member, and viewer in a Contractbook team?
The different roles of a Contractbook team are associated with supplemental rights and document access permissions.
Team owner
The team owner has all the team's managerial rights and is responsible for the subscription with us. Team owners can:
- Build the team.
- Add, deactivate, and delete team members.
- Add and remove team viewers.
- View all team members' documents, such as drafts, contracts, or uploads.
- Cannot view team viewers' and admins' documents in the team folder.
-
In addition, perform the following actions to all team members' drafts:
- Duplicate them.
- Add tasks to them.
- Configure centralized automations that run across all team members' accounts.
- Give members and viewers permission to see other members' documents.
- Access the team folder.
- Review all team members' actions in the activity feed
- Add and change the team logo.
- Reactivate team members' accounts.
- Change team members to guests.
- Confirm and request changes to the payment method (any billing requests can be submitted via this form).
- Request a change of the team's owner.
- Holds responsibility for the team's plan.
- Can only be an owner of one team at a time.
Note: The team members or viewers can only see the team owner's documents by default if the team owner gives them access.
Team admin
- Can be an admin in multiple teams.
- A team can have more than one admin.
- Several team admins have the same rights in the team they join.
- Team admins can add new team members and viewers and remove or deactivate them.
- A team admin can view the team members' and team owners' documents in the team folder.
- A team admin cannot view the documents of team viewers and other admins.
- A team admin cannot manage any of the team documents unless editorial rights have been shared with them.
- Nobody in the team can view the admin's documents.
- If you need an admin added to your team, you can contact our support team, and we will help you with the configuration.
Team member
