With Connecteam, you have the ability to set admin permissions which help you define who has access to what within your organization, helping you facilitate your day-to-day management. Admin permissions offer flexibility for owners to manage their admins how they see fit. You may be wondering though, what's the difference between an owner and an admin in Connecteam?

In this article we'll answer that question and much more:

In Connecteam, an owner is assigned to all features automatically while an admin needs to be manually assigned to features, assets, and groups. Now that we've put it out there, let's break it down.

Owner - This is the highest level of permissions. By default, the account creator is an owner. Owners are automatically assigned to all features, assets, capabilities, and groups across the platform.

Owners are displayed with a crown in their user profile:

Admin - Unlike owners, admins do not have access to anything automatically. What features they have access to, or users they see, is all determined by the permissions granted by existing admins or owners.

Admins are displayed with a star in their user profile:

In the following example, you'll see that the owner in the first image has access to the Users and Smart Groups tabs while in the second image the admin has restricted access to the same tabs. He won't see those tabs appear on his admin dashboard at all.

💡 Tip: Admin permissions are extremely customizable! You can pinpoint exactly what you need your admins to be able to see and do on the platform per feature and per asset. Learn more about how to customize admin permissions in our article on Manager Permissions.
