Team lives at the **account** level. Invite people from **Team**. Each membership has a role and, for non-admins, a list of events they can open.

## Roles

| Role in Studio | Code | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Administrator | `administrator` | Can update the account. Sees every event. |
| Event Creator | `event_creator` | Default role. Only assigned events. |
| Collaborator | `collaborator` | Assigned events. |
| Check-in Crew | `checkin_assistant` | Check-in only on assigned events. |

**Owner** is separate. An owner is an `ownership` on the account, not a membership role. The person who created the account is an owner.

## What each role can do

From the current policies:

- **Open the account** — any activated member, plus super-admins
- **Update account profile / most settings** — owner or administrator
- **Billing, plans, add-ons, payment, destroy account** — owner only
- **Manage an event** — owner, administrator, or an Event Creator / Collaborator assigned to that event
- **Check in** — event admins, plus any member whose assigned events include this one (Check-in Crew)
- **Registration forms** — event admins, and only if the event’s plan allows forms
- **Send campaign test emails** — account owner only

Check-in Crew do not get Setup, Attendees, Registration, Content, or Communication in the sidebar.

## Invites

Inviting a teammate creates a membership. They sign in with that email. You can deactivate a membership later without deleting the user.

Event Creators and Collaborators must be assigned to specific events or they will not see those gatherings.
