Roles

Every member of a Zed organization is assigned a role that determines what they can access and configure.

Role Types {#roles}

Every member of an organization is assigned one of three roles:

Role Description
Owner Full control, including billing and ownership transfer
Admin Full control, except billing
Member Standard access, no privileged actions

Owner {#role-owner}

An owner has full control over the organization, including:

  • Invite and remove members
  • Assign and change member roles
  • Manage billing, payment methods, and invoices
  • Configure data-sharing policies
  • Disable Zed's collaborative features
  • Control whether members can use Zed-hosted models and Zed's edit predictions
  • Transfer ownership to another member

Admin {#role-admin}

Admins have the same capabilities as the Owner, except they cannot:

  • Access or modify billing settings
  • Transfer organization ownership

This role is suited for team leads or managers who handle day-to-day member access without needing visibility into payment details.

Member {#role-member}

Members have standard access to Zed. They cannot access billing or organization settings.

Managing User Roles {#managing-users}

Owners and Admins can manage organization members from the Zed dashboard within the Members page.

Inviting Members {#inviting-members}

  1. On the Members page, select + Invite Member.
  2. Enter the member's company email address and choose a role.
  3. The invitee receives an email with instructions to join. After accepting, they authenticate via GitHub.

Changing a Member's Role {#changing-roles}

  1. On the Members page, find the member. You can filter by role or search by name.
  2. Open the three-dot menu and select a new role.

Removing a Member {#removing-members}

  1. On the Members page, find the member.
  2. Select Remove and confirm.

Removing a member removes their access to organization settings and any organization-managed features. They can continue using Zed on their own.
