Types of Permissions and How to Change Them
When inviting members to a project, you assign them specific "permissions." These permissions can be changed even after the invitation has been sent.
For more information on inviting members, see Inviting and Managing Project Members.
Tips: For more granular permission settings, consider using either advanced permission controls (available for Business plans and above) or a paid workspace plan.
Types of Permissions
Studio projects have four types of permissions. The table below shows the restrictions for each permission type.

Owner
An Owner can perform all actions within a project. There is no limit to the number of Owners you can add to a project.
Billing Owner
The "Billing Owner" is automatically assigned to the Owner who upgraded to a paid plan. The Billing Owner is responsible for payments charged to the registered credit card.
Note: This permission cannot be directly assigned to other members. Another Owner must change their own permission through the process. For more details, see How to Change the Billing Owner.
Editor
Editors can edit various data within the project, including design and CMS.
