Understand Team Roles and Permissions
Understand Team Roles and Permissions
Every person in your TexAu workspace has a role that determines what they can do. TexAu uses five role levels to give
team members the right amount of access.
Before you begin
You need the Owner or Admin role to change team member roles. Go to Settings > Members to view and manage roles.
The five TexAu roles
Owner
The Owner has complete control over the workspace, including billing and the ability to delete the workspace.
Owner can:
- View and manage all tables, templates, and data
- Run enrichments and access all results
- Create and delete templates
- Invite, remove, and manage all team members
- Change any team member's role
- Transfer workspace ownership to another team member
- Manage all integrations and data connections
- Access and modify all workspace settings
- Control billing and manage plans
- Delete the workspace
When to assign Owner: One person per workspace, typically the person who created it or the team lead responsible for the
workspace.
Admin
Admins handle day-to-day operations such as team coordination and workflow setup. They do not have access to billing or
ownership transfer.
Admin can:
- View and manage all tables, templates, and data
- Run enrichments and access all results
- Create, edit, and delete templates
- Invite team members and assign roles (Member, Editor, Viewer)
- Remove Members, Editors, and Viewers from the workspace
- Configure and manage all integrations
- Modify workspace settings (except billing)
Admin cannot:
- Manage other Admins or the Owner
- Access or modify billing information
- Transfer workspace ownership
- Delete the workspace
When to assign Admin: Team leads, project managers, or senior analysts who manage templates, integrations, and
coordinate the team.
Member
Members can work with data and run enrichments. They have broader access than Editors but cannot manage team settings.
Member can:
- View and manage all tables and data
- Run enrichments and access all results
- Create and edit templates
- Use integrations configured by Admins or Owners
- Download and export data
Member cannot:
- Invite or remove team members
- Change anyone's role
- Modify workspace settings
- Configure integrations
- Delete the workspace
When to assign Member: Active team members who need full access to data and templates but do not need to manage the
workspace or team.
Editor
Editors work with data daily. They can create and manage their own tables and run enrichments, but they cannot manage
the team or workspace settings.
Editor can:
- Create and edit tables
- Run enrichments using existing templates
- Create and modify their own templates
- Download and export data
- View all tables and enrichment results
Editor cannot:
- Invite or remove team members
- Change anyone's role
- Modify workspace settings
- Configure integrations
- Delete tables or templates created by others
When to assign Editor: Data analysts and project team members who need to import data and run enrichments daily.
Viewer
Viewers have read-only access. They can see results and download exports but cannot make changes.
Viewer can:
- View all tables and enrichment results
- Download and export data
- View templates (but not modify them)
Viewer cannot:
- Create or edit tables
- Run enrichments
- Modify or delete templates
- Invite or manage team members
- Access workspace settings
When to assign Viewer: Executives, clients, or team members from other departments who need to see results without
making changes.

Change a team member's role
1. Go to Settings > Members.
2. Find the team member in the list.
3. Click their current role.
4. Select the new role from the dropdown.
5. Confirm the change.
The change takes effect immediately. The team member does not need to log out and back in.
Best practices for assigning roles
Small teams (2 to 5 people):
- 1 Owner (team lead)
- Everyone else as Members or Editors
Medium teams (6 to 15 people):
- 1 Owner
- 1 to 2 Admins (senior analysts or project managers)
- Remaining team as Members, Editors, or Viewers based on needs
Large teams (15+ people):
- 1 Owner
- 3 to 5 Admins (team leads for different projects)
- Members and Editors (active data workers)
- Viewers (stakeholders, executives, cross-functional collaborators)
Special situations
What if the Owner leaves? The Owner should transfer ownership to another team member before leaving. If the Owner
becomes unavailable, contact TexAu support for assistance with ownership transfer.
Can an Admin invite someone as an Owner? No. Admins can assign the Member, Editor, or Viewer role to new invitations.
Only the current Owner can promote someone to Owner after they join the workspace.
Troubleshooting
I cannot change a team member's role. Only Owners and Admins can change roles. Check your own role on the Settings >
Members page.
A team member cannot see tables after their role was changed. Ask them to refresh the page. Permission changes take
effect immediately but may require a page refresh to display.
