There are several possible roles in a Zulip organization.

|
* **Organization owner**: Can manage users, public streams,
|
2019-02-01 18:20:51 +01:00
|
|
|
organization settings, and billing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-23 02:43:28 +02:00
|
|
|
* **Organization administrator**: Can manage users, public streams,
|
2020-08-14 01:31:51 +02:00
|
|
|
and organization settings. Cannot create or demote organization
|
|
|
|
|
owners.

|
|
|
* **Moderator**: Have the permissions of full members; additionally,
|
2022-07-13 11:05:17 +02:00
|
|
|
many **Organization permissions** settings allow moderators to be
|
2021-05-01 17:09:14 +02:00
|
|
|
given additional privileges or do so by default.

|

|
|
2020-08-14 01:31:51 +02:00
|
|
|
* **Member**: Has access to all public streams. Member is the default
|
|
|
|
|
role for most users. [Some organization
|
|
|
|
|
settings](/help/restrict-permissions-of-new-members) allow an
|
2021-05-10 07:02:14 +02:00
|
|
|
organization to restrict the permissions of **new members**; Members
|
|
|
|
|
who do not have those restrictions are called **full members**.

|
|
|
* **Guest**: Can only view or access streams they've been added to.
|
2023-11-28 08:04:06 +01:00
|
|
|
[Guest users](/help/guest-users) interact with public streams as
|
|
|
|
|
though they were private streams with shared history. Cannot
|
|
|
|
|
create new streams or invite other users.

|
|
|
* **Billing administrator**: The user who upgrades the organization to
|
|
|
|
|
a paid plan is, in addition to their normal role, a billing
|
|
|
|
|
administrator. Can manage billing in addition to the existing
|
2020-08-14 01:31:51 +02:00
|
|
|
privileges. This allows someone from the billing department to
|
|
|
|
|
manage billing without needing organization administrator
|
|
|
|
|
permissions.

For details of the access control model, see [Stream
|
|
|
|
|
permissions](/help/stream-permissions). You can decide what role to
|
|
|
|
|
invite a user as when you [send them an
|
2022-03-25 21:58:53 +01:00
|
|
|
invitation](/help/invite-new-users).

Organization owners can do anything an organization administrator can
|
|
|
|
|
do. For brevity, we may sometimes refer to "organization
|
|
|
|
|
administrators" being able to do something; unless stated explicitly,
|
|
|
|
|
this means "organization owners and administrators" can do that thing.
