About team member roles and permissions

School and Business plans only¹

All team accounts come with three predefined user roles—Administrator, Creator, and Viewer—that can be used by team administrators to control each team member's app permissions based on their individual needs.

The table below explains how each role is defined, what actions a team member with is able to take within the app, and when we recommend using it.

Role	Definition
Administrator	An Administrator has all of the capabilities of a Creator and a Viewer, as well as full control over Team Models and the ability to set and modify other team members' roles. Like Creators, can view all models in Explore and My Library (Private Models and Team Models), save models to Private Models and Team Models, customize any model in Human Studio, edit/save changes to editable models in Team Models (i.e., models that either they created or that other team members saved with "Team - View & Edit" permissions), publish models from Private Models and Team Models, and invite new team members. Can also edit/save changes to models owned by other team members and saved with "Team - View Only" permissions (i.e., override a model's permissions), delete models created by other team members, change the permissions of any team member's models, transfer ownership of any team member's models to themselves or another team member, assign and modify the roles of other team members, and remove members from the team (with the exception of themselves). We recommend minimizing the number of Administrators in a given team account.
Creator	A Creator has all of the capabilities of a Viewer, as well as access to the authoring tools in Human Studio, the ability to save models to Team Models, and the ability to invite new members to the team. Like Viewers, can view all models in Explore and My Library (Private Models and Team Models), save models to Private Models, and invite new team members. Can also save models to Team Models, publish models from Private Models and Team Models, customize any model in Human Studio, and edit/save changes to owned or editable models in Team Models (i.e., models that either they created or that other team members saved with "Team - View & Edit" permissions). We recommend this role for any team members who will be curating, customizing, and/or collaborating on models. This is the default role for new team members joining via a team code or custom team registration link.²
Viewer	A Viewer is able to view all models in Explore and My Library (Private Models and Team Models) and save models to Private Models only. Viewers cannot save models to or edit models saved in Team Models, publish models from Private Models or Team Models, or access the authoring tools in Human Studio. We recommend this role for third parties, vendors, advisors, or any other users who need or would benefit from access to the full Human Library and/or models that other members have saved to Team Models, but who do not need access to Human Studio.
