What “Admin” means in practice
Admins own the workspace shell: billing, membership, and lifecycle. If everyone wants to be hands-on with data while only a few people hold the workspace itself, leave most people as Member. A workspace must have at least one Admin at all times. TalkValue prevents the last Admin from demoting themselves or leaving the workspace. To leave when you’re the only Admin, promote another member first.What “Member” means in practice
Members work with the product itself: events, people, channels, badges, integrations, Spark, and the AI assistant. Admins additionally own membership and billing. Member is the right role for most teammates.Change a role
Open Settings → Members as an Admin. On the row of the person you want to change, open the Member actions menu (three dots) and pick:- Make Admin. Promotes a Member to Admin.
- Make Member. Demotes an Admin to Member. Hidden when there’s only one Admin in the workspace.
Request a role change
If you’re a Member and need Admin to do something specific (open billing, invite a new teammate), the fastest path is to ask any current Admin to make the change for you directly, or to promote you temporarily. Open Settings → Members to see who the current Admins are.Related
- Members. Open the members table and the role action menu.
- Invite teammates. Send an invitation with a starting role.
- General. Where the workspace lifecycle actions live.
- Plans, trial, and Pro. Billing requires the Admin role.
