Members and roles
Owner, admin, editor and member: what each can do, how to invite a teammate, and what a downgrade does to your team.
- members
- moderation
Your member list is under Members in the sidebar. It shows everyone, with search, filters and a CSV export.
There are four roles.
Owner
You. One per community. It can be handed to an existing member from Settings, if the community has never taken payments; otherwise it is permanent. Some things only the owner can do:
Connect Stripe and set the membership price
Change the Drry plan
Connect a custom domain
Change anyone's role
Grant or revoke free access
Offer to transfer ownership
Delete the community
Admin
A trusted helper. Admins reach the whole console and can moderate, manage members, write courses and run events. They cannot do anything in the owner list above, and they cannot remove another admin.
Admins need the Growth plan, up to ten of them.
Editor
A build seat. Editors write courses, guides, funnels and emails, build your Resources library, and change your branding. Emailing members about files and limiting files to a tier stay with owners and admins. They do not get the member list, direct messages, the moderation queue, analytics, the store, payments or settings, and they cannot host a live room. It is the right seat for a contractor building your course.
Editors need the Growth plan, and there is no limit on how many you have.
Member
Everyone else. In the community itself, owners are labelled Host rather than owner.
Invite a teammate
Owner only, and Growth only. Open Members, then the Team tab, then Invite teammate. Pick Editor or Admin, type their email address and press Send invite.
They get an email with a link that works once, only for that address, and expires after two weeks. They sign in with that address and choose Accept. You are also given the link when you send, so you can paste it yourself if the email goes astray.
Invites nobody has accepted yet sit under Invited, not yet accepted on the Team tab, where you can Withdraw them. They count against your seat limits, and you can have up to 20 waiting at once.
Promote someone who has already joined
If the person is already a member, use the Members page instead: find them, and use the row menu to make them an admin or an editor. Owner only, and Growth only.
On a lower plan the option is still there and explains what Growth gives you rather than hiding it.
Change someone's handle
Members cannot change their own @handle after they pick it, but you can, from their row. Handles are unique within your community, so the same person can be @sam here and @sam elsewhere.
Give someone free access
Grant free access at the top of the Members page. Owner only.
They need a Drry account first. If you get a message saying no account uses that email, ask them to sign in to your community once, then grant it.
Common questions
Can I transfer ownership?
Only if your community has never connected Stripe or taken a payment. Offer it to an existing member from Settings' danger zone; nothing moves until they accept, and you can withdraw the offer before then.
Do admins count towards my member limit?
No. Your member limit counts customers. You, your admins and your editors hold team seats and sit outside it, so filling every admin and editor seat never touches your member count.
Can an admin see my Stripe balance?
They can reach the Settings page but payments, pricing, plans and domains are all owner only.
What does a member see about other members?
Their handle, display name, avatar and whatever profile fields you switched on. The member directory, which lets them browse each other, is off by default and lives in Customize under Members.
