Last verified 2 days ago
Use this reference when you need to compare what each organization role controls in Ampere. Organization roles affect team management and broad workspace access; billing admin access and shared Joule session roles use separate controls.
The current organization roles are Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.

What admins and owners can manage
Admins and owners can open Settings and then Team to manage organization members and invitations. They can invite teammates as Admin, Member, or Viewer, update regular member roles, and remove non-owner members.
Owner changes use a dedicated ownership-transfer flow. Do not treat Owner as a normal invitation or role-dropdown choice. A person must already be a member of the organization before ownership can be transferred to them.
What members and viewers can do
Member is the standard role for teammates who work in the organization but do not need to manage team access.
Viewer is the lightest general organization role. Viewer access is useful when someone needs a narrower view of organization work. For shared Joule sessions, viewers can only receive view access.
Most shared work in Ampere belongs to an organization. That includes knowledge-base files, AI Tool executions, projects, scheduled tasks, AI avatars, custom voices, billing, usage, and connected accounts. Some records also track the person who created the work, so organization-wide activity can still distinguish individual work where the product needs it.
Billing access is separate
Organization roles and billing administration are not the same setting. Owners have billing access automatically. Other teammates can be granted billing admin access separately, so finance or operations teammates can help manage billing without becoming organization owners.
Use Team settings for organization roles. Use billing pages when you need to manage plans, credits, top-ups, auto-recharge, invoices, payment methods, usage, or billing admin access.
Shared Joule sessions use their own roles
Shared Joule sessions use session-specific roles: no access, view, edit, and owner. These are separate from organization roles.
Owners, admins, and members can be granted view, edit, or owner access on a shared Joule session. Viewers can receive view access only.
Choose the least powerful role that fits
Start with the least powerful role that still lets the teammate do their job. Use Admin when someone needs to manage team access or organization settings. Use Member or Viewer when they do not need team-management controls.
Use extra care with ownership and billing. Ownership controls the organization at the highest level, and billing admin access can be granted separately when someone only needs to help with billing.
