🛂 Understanding User Permissions in Vector

In Vector, user roles don’t gate what you can do in the platform — they just determine what kind of settings you can manage. No matter your role, you’ll still have full access to the good stuff: building segments, checking out the visitor feed, using Ad Reveal (Growth/Enterprise only), and more.

Here’s how it all breaks down 👇

👑 Owner

The ultimate keyholder.

• Can invite new users ✅

• Can assign roles (Owner, Admin, Member) ✅

• Can remove users ✅

• Can promote/demote anyone, including making others an Owner ✅

• Can never be deleted (they’re the owner — kind of the account anchor)

• Has access to:

  • Organization-level settings

  • SSO + SAML configs

  • Org-wide API keys

You can have multiple Owners if you like to share the crown 👑

🛠 Admin

Power tools, minus the nuclear codes.

• Can invite new users ✅

• Can assign Admin or Member roles ✅

• Can update anyone except the Owner 🚫

• Can remove users ✅

• Has access to org-wide API keys ✅

• No access to SSO/SAML ❌

Admins can do most of what an Owner can — but they can’t touch the Owner role or settings tied to identity providers.

👀 Member

Look, but don’t touch (much).

• Can view the Invite Users page 👓

• Can see who’s who and what their roles are 👀

• Can’t invite new users or change anyone’s role ❌

• No access to SSO or API keys ❌

Perfect for teammates who just need to use Vector, not manage it.

TL;DR

FAQs with User Permissions:

Q:Why can’t I invite someone outside of my own email domain?
By default, Vector only allows users to invite others with the same email domain (e.g., @vector.co). But good news—this can be updated! Just contact support@vector.co and we’ll update your settings on the backend so you can invite folks from any domain.

Q: Need your role updated or something unlocked?
Just give your friendly Owner or Admin a nudge 🙋‍♀
