Access Control

Different settings sections have different access requirements:

All Users

  • General - Profile and preferences
  • Notifications - Notification preferences
  • Security - Security and account management

Admin and Owner Only

  • Members - Team member management
    • Members without admin/owner permissions are automatically redirected to General settings

Owner Only

  • Billing & subscription - The organization's platform subscription and seat counts are managed by Owners. See Billing, Pricing & Seats for how the org subscription is priced (per accountable actor) and how end-user seats work for apps you build on the platform.
Settings cover your team, not your app's end-users. Everything here is org-scoped: members are people on your team who operate the platform. The people who sign into apps you build are end-users, a separate identity — see Organizations & identity.
