Owner, admin, and agent compared

Owners hold ultimate responsibility for billing and workspace deletion. Admins run daily operations. Agents spend most of their time in the inbox.

Small teams often have one owner and several agents. Growing teams add admins to split configuration work.

Quick comparison

  • Owners: billing, plan changes, ownership transfer
  • Admins: team invites, channels, store connect, AI tuning
  • Agents: reply, notes, tags, allowed store actions

Least privilege

Default new hires to agent until they need settings access. You can promote later without disrupting their conversation history.
