Roles - Zed	Understand Zed's organization roles and what each role can access, manage, and configure.

Roles

Every member of a Zed organization is assigned a role that determines what they can access and configure.

Role Types

Every member of an organization is assigned one of four roles:

Capability	Owner	Admin	Billing Manager	Member
Use hosted AI and Edit Predictions through Business	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
View organization members	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Invite members	Yes	Yes	No	No
Change non-owner member roles	Yes	Yes	No	No
Remove non-owner members	Yes	Yes	No	No
Configure organization settings and data controls	Yes	Yes	No	No
View subscription, usage, and billing information	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Update billing details, tax ID information, and payment methods	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Cancel the subscription	Yes	No	No	No
Transfer ownership	Yes	No	No	No

Owner

An owner has full control over the organization, including:

• Invite and remove members
• Assign and change member roles
• Manage billing, payment methods, and invoices
• Configure data-sharing policies
• Disable Zed's collaborative features
• Control whether members can use Zed-hosted models and Zed's edit predictions
• Transfer ownership to another member

Admin

Admins can manage members, roles, organization settings, data controls, and billing. They have the same capabilities as the Owner, except they cannot:

• Cancel the subscription
• Transfer organization ownership

This role is suited for team leads or managers who handle day-to-day member access and organization settings.

Billing Manager

Billing Managers can view subscription usage, update billing details and tax ID information, update payment methods, and access invoice history.

This role does not count toward paid Business seats. It also does not include Zed-hosted AI models or Edit Predictions through the Business subscription. Billing Managers cannot invite or remove members, change member roles, configure organization settings or data controls, cancel the subscription, or transfer ownership.

Member

Members have standard access to Zed through the Business subscription. They cannot access billing or organization settings.

Managing User Roles

Owners and Admins can manage organization members from the Zed dashboard within the Members page.

Inviting Members

1. On the Members page, select + Invite Member.
2. Enter the member's company email address and choose a role.
3. The invitee receives an email with instructions to join. After accepting, they authenticate via GitHub.

Changing a Member's Role

1. On the Members page, find the member. You can filter by role or search by name.
2. Open the three-dot menu and select a new role.

Removing a Member

1. On the Members page, find the member.
2. Select Remove and confirm.

Removing a member removes their access to organization settings and any organization-managed features. They can continue using Zed on their own.
