Owner

Members with owner permissions have full control within the project, including changing the plan and duplicating the project.

There is no limit to the number of Owners that can be added to a project.

Payment Owner

Payment Owner permissions is automatically assigned to the owner who upgrades to a paid plan. Payments and renewals are made using the credit card information registered by the Payment Owner.

This role cannot be granted to other users. To change the Payment Owner, another owner must change themselves to the Payment Owner. For more details, see the following article:

Editor

Members with Editor permissions can made various edits within the project, including in the Design Editor and CMS. However, they cannot change plans or permissions of other members.

An Editor’s access to Form responses may also be managed. See the following article for more details:

Writer

Members with Writer permissions have the highest level of restrictions, which limits their actions in both the CMS dashboard and Design Editor.

Writer permissions is only available on the Business and CMS plans. A maximum of 3 members can be assigned Writer permissions, whereas there is no such limit on the Business plan.
