# Roles and permissions

> What Admin and Member roles can do in a TalkValue workspace.

A TalkValue workspace has two roles: **Admin** and **Member**. Every member of a workspace is one or the other. Your role is set when you're invited and can be changed any time by an Admin on **Settings → Members**.

Your role is **per-workspace**. You can be an Admin in one workspace and a Member in another; switching workspaces switches your effective role.

## What "Admin" means in practice

Admins own the workspace shell: billing, integrations, 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 can do everything an Admin can do with the actual product (events, people, channels, badges, Spark, AI), with two restrictions: they cannot manage other people in the workspace, and they cannot touch billing or integrations. This 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.

The role change takes effect immediately on the next page load for that person.

## Request a role change

If you're a Member and need Admin to do something specific (open billing, connect an integration, 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.
