# Team, roles, and authors

Everything in Bloggable belongs to an **account**, and everyone you invite joins that account — sharing its blogs, its credit pool and its billing.

## Roles

| Role | Can do |
| --- | --- |
| **Owner** | Everything, including billing and cancelling the plan |
| **Admin** | Settings, team, personas, archiving blogs, all content work |
| **Member** | Create and edit content, run AI actions, publish |
| **Viewer** | Read-only — can see the work and the analytics, change nothing |

Billing is owner-only. Team management and account settings are owner or admin. Permanent deletion of content is reserved for owners.

**Joe respects exactly these boundaries.** A viewer can ask Joe anything and get real answers, but Joe won't perform an action their role doesn't allow — the tools simply aren't offered to him. There's no route around the permission model through the assistant.

## Inviting people

Owners and admins invite by email from **Settings → Team**. Your plan sets how many seats you have; **Settings → Billing** shows the live number for your account.

Two known limits worth planning around:

- **Roles are account-wide.** You can't currently scope a member to a single blog.
- **A user belongs to exactly one account.** There's no account switching, so someone who works with you and with another Bloggable customer needs separate logins.

## Viewer seats and clients

Viewer is the seat to give a client or a stakeholder who wants to watch without touching. Note that ownership transfer isn't built yet — you can't hand a blog over to a client's own account, so agencies should plan to keep client blogs under their account.

## Personas — bylines without seats

A **persona** is a virtual author: a name, a bio and a photo, with no login and no seat cost. Use them to byline posts under a pen name, a brand voice, or a subject-matter expert who doesn't need access to the tool.

Personas can be scoped to the account or to a single blog, and you can have as many as you like. Autopilot can use one as its default byline — and if you don't set a byline at all, it assigns a persona rather than publishing anonymously, because an article with a named author is treated better by both search and answer engines.

Creating a persona needs admin or owner.
