Organization Roles

Understand the three organization-level roles in Cogram — Owner, Admin, and Member — and what each role can do.

Every user in a Cogram organization has one of three organization-level roles: Owner, Admin, or Member. These roles control what a user can do across the entire organization, including creating and managing projects.

Organization roles are separate from Project Roles, which control what a user can do within a specific project.

Roles in Detail

Owner

Full control over the organization. Owners can manage all projects, invite or remove members, configure integrations, and assign or revoke Admin roles. There is typically one Owner per organization.

Admin

Organization-wide administrator. Admins can create, update, and delete any project in the organization — even projects they are not a member of. Admins can also invite members and manage organization settings, but cannot assign or revoke Admin roles. This role is suited for project managers or operations leads who need to oversee the full project portfolio.

Member

Standard organization user. Members can create new projects and access any project they have been added to. They cannot view, modify, or delete projects they have not been invited to, and have no access to organization administration settings. An org Admin or Owner can optionally restrict project creation, archiving, and deletion to Admins and Owners only.

How Organization Roles Interact with Project Roles

When an Owner or Admin accesses a project, they have full administrative rights over that project regardless of whether they have been explicitly added as a project member. This allows Owners and Admins to manage the project portfolio without needing to be listed on every project.

For Members, access to a project's content is governed entirely by their Project Role (Owner, Member, or Viewer) within that project.

Assigning Organization Roles

Organization roles are managed in Organization Settings > Members. Only Owners can assign or remove the Admin role.
