  • At least one admin must remain

Changing to Viewer:

  • They lose edit access
  • Existing work is preserved
  • May lose access to some items

Common Questions

Can I restore a removed user?

Not directly. Send a new invitation. They'll need to accept and may not have previous assignments.

How many admins should we have?

At least two (for backup), but minimize beyond that. 2-4 admins is typical for most organizations.

Can users change their own role?

No. Only admins can change roles. Users cannot elevate their own access.

What if someone needs temporary elevated access?

Promote them, then demote after the task is done. Document why and when.

Can I see what a user has accessed?

Audit logs show user activity. Check the activity tab on their profile or organization audit logs.

How do I transfer someone's work?

Before removing, go through their assigned tasks and workflows. Reassign to other users or teams.
