Roles and permissions

Every project member has one of three roles: owner, admin, or member. Roles gate the admin surfaces; writing docs is open to everyone on the team.

What each role can do

Capability	Owner	Admin	Member
Read docs, insights, and conversations	Yes	Yes	Yes
Connect an AI tool, write and publish articles	Yes	Yes	Yes
Project settings (name, subdomain, logo, accent color, support email)	Yes	Yes	No
Widget settings and starter questions	Yes	Yes	No
Custom domain and subpath hosting	Yes	Yes	No
Invite, remove, and change roles of teammates	Yes	Yes	No
Transfer ownership	Yes	No	No
Delete the project	Yes	No	No

The same rules apply in the dashboard and through the MCP server: an agent connected by a member can author articles but cannot, for example, change the widget's starter questions.

Rules worth knowing

• Each project has exactly one owner: the person who created it, unless ownership was transferred.
• Role changes switch between admin and member only. Nobody is promoted to owner by a role change, and nobody can change the owner's role or their own role.
• The owner cannot be removed from the project.

Transferring ownership

To hand a project to someone else, open Settings, then Danger zone, and choose Transfer ownership. Pick any teammate; they become the owner and you become an admin.

Deleting a project

Only the owner can delete a project, from the Danger zone. Deletion takes the docs site offline and permanently removes articles, conversations, and settings. There is no undo.
