When you're adding a team member to your HoneyBook account, it's important to assign the appropriate role permissions based on the level of access they need. We have a variety of role types to choose from: basic team members, moderators, admins, and super admins.
PLEASE NOTE: This article references accounts with multiple team members, available for HoneyBook’s Essentials and Premium plan members. Learn more about the features included in each plan here.
All roles
All team member roles can:
Control their own contact list (contacts are not shared between team members, but you can always export your contacts, then share with a team member to upload to their own list via CSV import!)
Manage the account’s company info
Manage the account’s templates
Manage the account’s image and file Library
Manage the account’s Preferences
Manage the account's automations
Basic team members
Basic team members
Basic team members can:
See and take action in all projects or workspaces they’ve created or have been added to as participants
Manage the account’s company info
Manage the account’s templates
Manage the account’s image and file Library

Manage the account's automations
Basic team members cannot:
View any other team member's pipeline or individual projects
Create and send files and emails from projects in which they are not participants
Customize the company's pipeline stages

Access Bookkeeping information for projects on which they are not the workspace owner

Issue refunds on files that they do not own
Remember, regardless of permission level, additional team members will not automatically be added as participants to projects. The project owner, company owner, super admin, or an existing project participant will need to add a basic-level user as a participant in order for them to view, send emails, or send files through a project.
Moderators
Moderators
Moderators have basic user permissions, plus they can:
View all other team members' workspaces and pipelines
Edit the project details for any project, whether or not they're a participant
Moderators cannot:
Create and send files and emails from projects in which they are not participants
Customize the company's pipeline stages
Customize and distribute the company's client portal
Add team members or change user roles
Create session types that may be scheduled with multiple team members or edit other team members' sessions
Create or share contact forms

Add or edit the account’s bank details
Issue refunds on files that they do not own
Remember, regardless of permission level, additional team members will not automatically be added as participants to projects. The project owner, company owner, super admin, or an existing project participant will need to add a moderator-level user as a participant in order for them to send emails or files through a project.
Admins
Admins
Admins have moderator use permissions, plus they can:
Add team members and change user roles
Create and share contact forms
Create session types that may be scheduled with multiple team members, and edit all sessions within the company
Issue a refund on any file
Edit and send an existing file—or resend a file that has already been sent—in a project workspace that they have NOT been added to as a participant. The email that is sent will be sent on behalf of the project workspace owner
Admins cannot:
Create and send files and emails from projects in which they are not participants
Customize the company's pipeline stages
Customize and distribute the company's client portal
Access Bookkeeping information for projects on which they are not the workspace owner

Add or edit the account’s bank details
Remember, regardless of permission level, additional team members will not automatically be added as participants to projects. Though admin-level users can view and take some action in projects they're not technically a part of, the project owner, company owner, super admin, or an existing project participant will need to add an admin-level user as a participant in order for them to send emails or create new files in a project.
