When inviting a teammate to your workspace, you’ll choose between two roles: Admin and Rep.

This guide explains what each role can access and manage.


Quick Overview

Admins have full control over account settings, integrations, billing, and team management.

Reps have a focused experience built for individual contributors. They can view most organizational settings but can only edit and manage what they personally create.

When to Use Each Role

Assign Admin to
Team members responsible for account setup, billing, CRM configuration, integrations, and managing the overall workspace.

Assign Rep to
Individual contributors who need to view leads, run their own workflows, connect personal tools, and manage their own notifications, without access to organization-wide settings or billing.
