When adding a team member to your company, assign role permissions based on the level of access appropriate for their work. Team members are available for HoneyBook Essentials and Premium plan members.

All roles

Here's what all team member roles can do:

  • Control projects and files in their own pipelines

  • Add new contacts

  • 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

  • See and take action in all projects they’ve created or have been added to as participants

  • View, edit, and add notes in projects they’ve created or have been added to as participants

Basic team member

Here's what basic team members cannot do:

  • Cannot access other team members' contacts (other team members' contacts are not shared with basic team members)

  • 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

  • Customize and distribute the company's client portal

  • Download CSV Reports

  • Add or edit the account’s bank details

  • Issue refunds on files that they do not own

  • View, edit, and add notes in projects they did not create or have not been added to as a participant

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 team member as a project participant in order for them to view, send emails, or send files through the project.
