Team and permissions

The Team section manages your organization's members and what each of them can do on each site. It has two tabs: Members & Permissions and Invite Members.

Roles#

RoleScope
OwnerFull access to every site in the organization. Per-site permissions cannot be restricted for them.
AdminFull access to every site. Can manage members and permissions.
MemberAccess only to the sites explicitly granted, at the level assigned on each one.
Note

Owners and admins have full access to every site by definition; the dashboard states that on their card instead of showing a per-site permission list.

Per-site permissions#

For a member, each site can be granted at one of two levels:

Read
Can see the site, its pages, its metrics and its visibility results. Cannot launch actions that spend balance, and cannot change settings.
Read & Write
Can additionally crawl, optimize, run tests, configure schedules and change the integration.

On each member's card, Grant access adds a site and Revoke access removes one. The Access to all sites option grants the whole set at once.

Warning

A member with no site granted will see No site access when opening AIO. It is not an application error: access has to be granted from here.

Inviting members#

The Invite Members tab adds people to the organization. New members join with the role you assign and — if they are members — with no site access until it is granted.

Note

In local-auth dev mode, member invitations are unavailable and users are provisioned through the repository's seed script.

Good practice#

  • Grant Read by default and raise to Read & Write only for people who will launch optimizations or tests: those are the actions that spend balance.
  • Keep the number of admins small. Full access to every site includes the integration's danger zone.
  • Review permissions when someone changes responsibilities; access changes are recorded in Change history.

Switching organization#

The switcher in the top bar moves between organizations, manages them or creates a new one. Each organization has its own sites, its own plan and its own balance.
