Roles and Access Control

Influgen currently supports four organization roles:

  • owner
  • admin
  • editor
  • viewer

The hierarchy is:

owner > admin > editor > viewer

Role intent​

Owner​

Full organizational control, including the highest-risk changes. Owners are the only members who can assign or manage the owner role.

Admin​

Operational control over team workflows and settings, but not full ownership transfer semantics.

Editor​

Best for operators who create, review, schedule, and manage content without needing top-level administrative power.

Viewer​

Read-oriented access for stakeholders who need visibility without edit authority.

Important restrictions​

  • only owners can invite or promote another owner
  • the organization must always retain at least one owner
  • role updates are validated against the actor's current role

Those rules prevent an organization from losing control of itself through an accidental downgrade or deletion.

  • founders or agency leads: owner
  • operations managers: admin
  • content operators: editor
  • clients or stakeholders: viewer

Keep roles narrow. Influgen works best when every permission is intentional.
