Roles & Permissions

VDClip uses three team roles to control what each member can do: Owner, Admin, and Member. The permissions dialog on the team page shows a detailed comparison of what each role can access.

The Three Roles

Owner

Full control over the team. There is exactly one Owner per team.

  • Edit team info (name, picture, social links)
  • Manage roles (promote/demote members)
  • Change plans and billing
  • Invite and remove members
  • All Admin and Member permissions

Admin

Manages team members and team resources. Cannot change billing or team info.

  • Invite and remove members
  • Modify templates
  • Manage social accounts
  • All Member permissions

Member

Uses the team’s resources for day-to-day work. Cannot manage the team itself.

  • View team info
  • Start video processing
  • View media and projects
  • Post and schedule to social accounts

Full Permissions Comparison

The team page includes a permissions dialog that shows a complete comparison of what every role can access. Click the “View role permissions” button in the members list to open it.

Changing a Member’s Role

Only the team Owner can change roles. Admins can invite and remove members, but they cannot promote or demote anyone.

1

Open the Members List

Go to the team page and find the member whose role you want to change.

2

Use the Role Selector

Click the role dropdown next to the member’s name. You can choose between Admin and Member.

3

Confirm the Change

The role change takes effect immediately. The member’s permissions update right away.

Note: The Owner role cannot be assigned through the dropdown. There is always exactly one Owner per team.

Tips & Best Practices

Follow the Principle of Least Privilege

Assign the Member role by default and only promote to Admin when someone needs to manage team members or templates.

Limit the Number of Admins

Keep your Admin count small. Too many Admins can lead to confusion about who is managing invitations and settings.

Review Roles Periodically

Check your team members list regularly to make sure roles still match each person's responsibilities.

Use the Permissions Dialog

If you are unsure what a role can do, click the permissions trigger button in the members list to see the full comparison table.
