Users and Permissions Overview
Roles determine what you and your teammates can see and edit in Tettra. Admin roles that are designed for people responsible for managing accounts and billing. And there are also other more limited roles for team members and guests.
Here's a quick way to understand roles in Tettra:
- Admins can edit billing information and remove users, along with all other permissions.
- Editors can create and delete categories and invite new users, and have all other permissions.
- Contributors and Guests can edit and update pages and do everything Read-Only users can do, but Guests have access to only some categories.
- Read-Only users can read pages, comment on them, and ask questions.
All user types (regardless of role) will be considered in your account's overall user count for billing.
