Workspace roles allow each workspace to set up granular controls that manage what users have access to. With roles you can set up permissions for presentations, folders, billing settings, and workspace management.

Workspaces have five types of users:

  • Owners: Every workspace has a single owner who has full permission to manage all settings in a workspace, including deleting the workspace.
  • Admins: Admins can access most workspace settings, including updating the billing options, and adding or removing workspace members. After the owner, every additional workspace member in a Free workspace is an admin by default.
  • Creators (paid plans only): Creators can create, edit, and share presentations, but can’t access workspace settings or add new members.
  • Commenters (paid plans only): Commenter is a user role for members of Pro and Business workspaces that allows them to browse the workspace, and open, view, and comment on decks without extra cost.

Change the workspace role

If you're the owner or an admin in a Pro workspace, navigate to the Workspace members page, which is accessible from the workspace drop-down menu (next to the name of your workspace). Next to each member you'll find the option to change their role from an admin to creator and vice versa. As the owner, you'll also have the option to change the owner role from yourself to another member. Please note that notifications will not be sent when a user's role has been changed.
