# What roles and permissions can team members have?

Topic: [Getting started and account](https://mindstamp.com/help/getting-started) · Updated: 2026-10-05

## Short answer

Each organization has one owner and any number of members, one per admin seat. Members see each other's videos only when a video's owner allows it. Inside a group, each person is a Viewer, an Analyst, or an Admin.

_Settings > Access & privacy: choose who can watch, and whether your organization can view or edit the video._

## Organization roles

The Members page shows each person's role, video count, and last activity. Members who are not the owner see a short read-only Organization page.

- **Owner**: manages billing, the organization name, domains and design locking, invites and deactivates members, and can transfer a member's videos when they leave.
- **Member**: creates videos, groups, and playlists, and works on shared videos. Each member uses one admin seat.

## Share a video with other members

A new video belongs to the person who created it. To share it, open the video, select **Settings**, and go to **Access & privacy**.

- **Organization members can view** lets every member watch and see the video.
- **Organization members can edit** also lets them change it. It is available only when viewing is on.

## Group roles

People you invite to a group by email get a groups-only account (shown as a limited account). It does not use an admin seat and shows only their groups.

- **Viewer**: watches the group's videos in Mindstamp.
- **Analyst**: also sees the group's reporting.
- **Admin**: also manages the group's videos, members, and settings.

## Common setups

- A small team: turn on view and edit sharing on the videos everyone works on.
- A client who needs results: add them to a group as an Analyst.
- A department that should not see other work: give it its own group.

## Change the owner

The app does not have an owner-transfer control. Contact support from the current owner's email to move ownership to another member.
