Team admin role
The team admin role controls sensitive actions in a team workspace: member management, project deletion, and other operations protected by the only_team_admin check.
In the system this role is stored as member_role = ADMINISTRATOR. In the UI it may appear as Administrator or team admin — these names refer to the same role.
Who gets team admin automatically
When you create a team, you are added as a member with:
team_member_status= ACCEPTEDmember_role= ADMINISTRATOR (team admin)
You do not need a separate step to activate admin rights — they are assigned at team creation.
What team admins can do
| Action | team admin | member |
|---|---|---|
| Change another member's role | Yes | No |
| Change another member's status | Yes | No |
| Remove a member from the team | Yes | No |
| Delete a project (and all related data) | Yes | No |
| Create and edit projects, cases, runs | Yes | Yes |
| Execute tests and update results | Yes | Yes |
| Invite users to the team | Yes | No* |
* Invite is available to team admins in the current product flow.
Only a user with ACCEPTED status and the ADMINISTRATOR role passes the team admin check. A pending or banned admin cannot perform these actions.
Adding more team admins
A team admin can promote another ACCEPTED member to ADMINISTRATOR (team admin) through team member management.
The number of team admins allowed in a team depends on your plan (tariff):
| Period | Admin limit |
|---|---|
| Beta (2026–2027) | No cap — you can add as many admins as needed. See Limits. |
| After beta | Limited by tariff; details will be published before limits take effect. |
To add an admin:
- Open Team members in the team workspace.
- Find the member (they must already be in the team with status ACCEPTED).
- Change their role from MEMBER to ADMINISTRATOR (team admin).
Only an existing team admin can change roles and statuses.
Demoting or removing admins
- A team admin can change another member's role back to MEMBER.
- A team admin can change a member's status (for example to BANNED or REJECTED) or remove them from the team.
Plan carefully: if you remove all team admins, no one in the team will be able to delete projects or manage member roles until support intervenes.
