Members and Roles
Team members have one of two roles that determine what they can do within the team workspace. Admins manage the team, and editors focus on building courses.
| Admin | Editor | |
|---|---|---|
| Create and edit team courses | Yes | Yes |
| Access team workspace | Yes | Yes |
| View team roster | Yes | Yes |
| Delete team courses | Any course | Only their own |
| Delete team media | Any file | Only their own |
| Save team theme presets | Yes | Yes |
| Rename or delete team presets | Any preset | Only their own |
| Set the team default theme | Yes | - |
| See team-wide credit usage | Yes | - |
| Invite members | Yes | - |
| Remove members | Yes | - |
| Change member roles | Yes | - |
| Purchase credit packs | Owner | - |
| Manage seat count | Owner | - |
| Dissolve team | Owner | - |
The person who creates the team is the team owner and the first admin. The owner is shown with an Owner badge in the team roster and cannot be removed from the team. Certain management actions are exclusive to the owner, including purchasing credit packs, changing the seat count, and dissolving the team. Other admins can invite and remove members, change roles, and delete any team course.
Inviting members
Section titled “Inviting members”- Go to Settings > Team
- Enter the email address of the person you want to invite
- Choose a role (admin or editor)
- Click Invite
The invitee receives an email with a link to join your team. Invitations expire after 7 days. You can revoke a pending invitation at any time from the team settings.
Invitees need a Slate account to join. If they don’t have one, they can create a free account when they accept the invitation.
Accepting an invitation
Section titled “Accepting an invitation”When you receive a team invitation:
- Click the join link in the invitation email
- Sign in to your Slate account (or create one)
- You’re automatically added to the team and switched to the team workspace
Managing members
Section titled “Managing members”From Settings > Team, admins can:
- Change a member’s role - use the role selector next to their name
- Remove a member - click the remove button next to their name
When a member is removed, any team courses they created are reassigned to the team owner. The removed member loses access to team courses and returns to their personal workspace.
Editors who open Settings > Team see a read-only summary of the team’s name, member count, and pooled resources (credits, voice minutes, storage), with a note to contact an admin for member or settings changes.
Settings areas for teams
Section titled “Settings areas for teams”A few areas of Settings behave differently depending on your role:
- Settings > Team - admins see the full management surface (members, invitations, seat count, dissolve). Editors see a read-only summary.
- Settings > Branding > Team Presets - everyone on the team can save, rename, and delete their own team presets, and export any preset. Only admins can set or unset the team default theme, and only admins can rename or delete presets saved by someone else. See Theme Editor: Theme presets for the full lifecycle.
- Settings > Credits - admins and owners get a Team usage tab that shows the team’s full credit history, with each row attributed to the member who spent the credits. Editors only see their own activity against the team pool. See Credits for the full breakdown.
Owner-only actions (purchasing credit packs, changing seat count, dissolving the team) live in Settings > Team and are hidden from other admins.
One team per person
Section titled “One team per person”Each user can belong to one team at a time. To join a different team, you must first leave or be removed from your current team.
