What roles can you assign to a collaborator on Faaaster?

Three roles are offered when you invite someone: Admin, Member and Viewer. The Owner role can't be assigned — it belongs to the holder of the account or the site.

⚠️ Don't rely on the old documentation on this topic: it mentions "Developer" and "Editor" roles that no longer exist.

Roles you can assign when inviting

Who can invite?

Only the Owner and Admins can invite, change the role (Change role, in the row menu) or revoke collaborators. This control applies at two levels:

• at the organization level, to give access to the whole account;
• at the site level, to open up just one project.

An admin of a site can therefore manage that site's team, without having any rights over the rest of the account.

Other roles you'll come across

Two more labels appear in the interface without being assignable:

• Owner — the holder of the account or the site. They're the one who holds the subscription.
• Invited — this isn't a role but a state: it indicates an invitation that has been sent and not yet accepted.

Alerts by role

The Settings page of the Account section, Alerts card, lets you choose which roles receive alerts for the organization's sites: Owner, Admin, Member. For a single site: Tools tab, Notifications row.

What each role can do

These rights are enforced by the server, not just by the interface: a grayed-out button is grayed out because the action would be refused.

• The Viewer views the site and performs harmless actions: Clear cache, Restart PHP / Nginx or Restart server. They have no access to any credentials (database, SSH / SFTP, WordPress login) and can't change anything else.
• The Member makes all changes to the site: plugins and themes, server configuration, security, domains and DNS, backups and restores, import and export, environments. They have access to the site's credentials.
• The Admin and the Owner also manage the project: the team, archiving, cloning and transferring the site, canceling its subscription, buying a domain name.

An Admin invited to a single site manages that site's team, but archiving, cloning, transferring the site, its subscription and purchases remain with the organization's owner and admins.

The AI assistant follows the same rights: a Viewer can ask it to clear the cache, a Member to change the site.

One last label, Creator, appears on some screens: it refers to the person who created the site and gives them the Owner's rights.
