User Roles

ClickUp users can take one of four roles within their Workplace: Member, Admin, Owner, or Guest. 

Guest

Guests are people that you don’t want having full access to ClickUp. The major differences are:

• Do not have access to Spaces
• Cannot create Spaces, Folders, or Lists
• Cannot see everyone on the Workplace
• Cannot edit permissions
• Cannot view reporting or Box View
• Can be given the ability to edit tags 
• Can use custom fields if granted permissions
• Read more about guests in paid plans

Member

Members are people that you generally trust and don’t mind them being able to create things.

• Create Spaces, Folders, Lists, and tasks
• Get access to all public Spaces
• Can see everyone on the Workplace
• Can share things with Guests and other Members (but can’t add new Members)
• Can make Spaces, Folders, Lists, and Tasks private, but only if they were the owner

Admin

Admins are people that can be trusted to manage your Workplace. In addition to everything users can do, admins can also: 

• Adding new Members (and managing permissions)
• Importing, Exporting, and managing Integrations
• Manage billing, user roles, imports, integrations, and other Workplace settings

Owner (person that created Workplace)

Owners are ultimately in charge of Workplace. In addition to everything admins can do, owners can also: 

• Delete Workplaces
• Transfer ownership
• Manage items they don't have access to- Workplace owners know items exist and have the ability to delete them
