User Roles, Permissions, & Restrictions

Help Center > Articles > Users

Samepage offers two main types of users: Members and Guests.

Members

Members are typically employees in your organization, and share the same company email domain. A member can be assigned one of the following roles:

• Admin - has the highest level security and administrative capabilities
• User Manager - (Pro plan only) has permissions to manage users and set user roles
• Owner - has permissions to manage settings for any group chat or team in which they are the owner
• Member - has access to standard features such as creating group chats, teams, and pages

Guests

Guests are typically people outside of your organization, such as contractors, vendors, or customers, and people who do not share the same company email domain. Guests are limited to basic collaboration capabilities such as chatting and editing team content where they've been invited. Guests are free and do not consume a license.

User Permissions

Organizations on our Free plan do not have access to user manager roles or restrictions. However, while on a 30-day Pro Trial or our Pro plan, this list of capabilities applies:

- Optionally allowed for a particular role

- Content Manager Mode (Pro plans only)

* User Manager cannot enable/disable Admin login or remove Admin

Managing User Restrictions

The People screen allows administrators and user managers to apply restrictions to specific users, as shown in the screenshot below:
