Team, Roles and Workspaces
Invite your team, choose what each person can do, and decide which workspaces they see.
An account can hold many workspaces, one per website, and one team. Each person on the team has a role, which sets what they can do, and an access level, which sets which workspaces they see.
Roles
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control of the account, its team, billing and every workspace. The owner role is never assigned by invitation or role change. |
| Admin | Everything a Member can do, plus manage the team (invite and remove people, change roles and access) and billing. Cannot transfer ownership or delete the account. |
| Billing Manager | Everything a Member can do, plus manage the payment method, spend cap and invoices. No team management. |
| Member | Use RankDebug within the workspaces they are given. No billing access. |
| Viewer | Read-only within the workspaces they are given. Cannot connect sources, start checks or crawls, or change anything. |
Some workspace settings are narrower still. Crawler access, report share links and editing a workspace are for the workspace owner or an admin, and deleting a workspace is for its owner.
Inviting people
On Team, click Invite, enter one or more email addresses, pick a role and an access level, and send. You can also generate an invite link to hand over yourself. Pending Invites lists the invitations not yet accepted, which can be resent or revoked.
The access level is either All workspaces, which covers every workspace on the account including ones created later, or a chosen list of workspaces, which new workspaces are not added to.
People can be suspended and reactivated, or removed. Every invitation, role change, access change, suspension and removal is recorded in the team's activity.
Workspaces
Settings → Workspaces lists every workspace you belong to with your role in it. A new workspace needs a name and the website it covers. Each workspace's settings hold its name, website and timezone, which sets when email digests go out.
Deleting a workspace deletes everything in it and cannot be undone.
