# Roles and permissions in DocInject

> Learn the difference between Admin and Member roles in DocInject, what each role is allowed to do, and how to change a member's role in Settings.

DocInject has two roles: **Admin** and **Member**. Every member of your organization has one of these roles, and roles can be changed at any time by an admin.

## Role comparison

## Admin

Admins have full control over the organization. An admin can:

* Invite and remove team members
* Change any member's role
* Edit the organization name
* Add and delete department labels
* Manage billing and subscriptions via the Billing tab
* View, edit, and delete any webhook created by any team member
* Create, edit, publish, and archive any document in the organization
* Access and delete all API keys in the organization

<Warning>
  Every organization must have at least one admin. You cannot demote or remove the last admin. Promote another member to admin first.
</Warning>

## Member

Members can collaborate on documents and create webhook integrations, but cannot change organization settings or manage other users. A member can:

* Create, edit, publish, and archive documents they own or are assigned to
* Create webhooks (admins can see and manage all webhooks from the Webhooks tab)
* View the full team member list
* Access their own profile and API keys

## Document ownership

Each document has an owner, the person who created it by default. Document ownership determines which members can edit or manage a document when no explicit editor assignment exists.

Admins can reassign ownership or assign a different editor to any document. See [Manage team members](/team/members) for steps to transfer document ownership.

## Changing a member's role

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Team tab">
    Go to **Settings** and click the **Team** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the member">
    Locate the member in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change their role">
    Click **Make admin** to promote a member, or **Make member** to demote an admin.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Role changes take effect immediately. The member's new permissions apply on their next action. They don't need to sign out and back in.
</Note>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What happens if I accidentally demote myself?">
    If there's another admin in the organization, they can promote you back. If you were the only admin, the button is disabled. DocInject prevents demoting the last admin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a member see other members' documents?">
    Members can view the team member list but only have edit access to documents they own or are explicitly assigned to. Admins can access all documents.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who can see webhooks created by members?">
    Any member can create a webhook. Admins see all webhooks organization-wide in the Webhooks tab and can edit or delete any of them.
