Team and roles
Who may do what – owner, admin, editor – and how many admins your plan allows.
The roles
- Editor: edits courses, modules, lessons and materials, and sees only “Courses” in the admin.
- Admin: additionally members, access, sales, analytics, appearance, e-mails, integrations and the editors in the team. Not: plan, own domain, export and deletion.
- Owner: everything, including plan & billing, own domain, export & deletion, inviting admins and handing over ownership. There is exactly one.
Editors are available on every plan, as many as you like. On the Starter plan one admin is possible besides the owner; from Growth and during the trial there are unlimited admins.
Inviting and changing
Under “Settings” → “Team” you invite people with “Invite a person” (e-mail and “Role”); they get a sign-in link and land straight in the admin. As an admin you only invite editors – only the owner invites admins. “Change role” changes the level; “Remove from team” turns the person back into a plain member, and an existing course access stays. Nobody can change their own role, and the owner's only changes through “Transfer ownership” – which goes to an admin only.
When you switch to a smaller plan, CourseKit checks that the number of admins fits (more under “Plan & billing”); nobody is demoted silently. Everyone in the team can set up a passkey – more in the article “My account: language, profile and passkey”.
