Workspace roles and permissions

Every workspace member in Twist has a role that defines what they can and can’t do within the app. Read about the different roles and settings below:

Admin

An Admin manages the entire workspace, including the Twist billing and account information. They can:

  • Invite and remove members
  • Change members’ roles
  • Change team settings
  • Update billing information
  • Delete channels
  • Delete groups
  • Delete the team
  • Do anything a Member can, such as creating channels, starting threads, and posting comments

Member

A Member has full access to Twist. The majority of your team will have the Member role. They can:

  • Invite people to join the team
  • Update their individual settings
  • Browse and join all public channels
  • Start threads, post comments, create channels, and create groups
  • Send messages to teammates
  • Delete groups

Guest

A guest is a limited member of your workspace. They have similar access to a Member, but only within the specific channels they're invited to by a Member or Team Admin.

This role is ideal for people like external contractors or clients you need to communicate with. Read more about single-channel and multi-channel guests.
