Roles

Every member of a Zed organization is assigned a role that determines what they can access and configure.

Role Types

Every member of an organization is assigned one of four roles:

Capability	Owner	Admin	Billing Manager	Member
Use hosted AI and Edit Predictions through Business	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
View organization members	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Invite members	Yes	Yes	No	No

Owner

An owner has full control over the organization, including:

Invite and remove members
Assign and change member roles
Manage billing, payment methods, and invoices
Configure data-sharing policies
Disable Zed's collaborative features
Control whether members can use Zed-hosted models and Zed's edit predictions
Transfer ownership to another member

Admin

Admins can manage members, roles, organization settings, data controls, and billing. They have the same capabilities as the Owner, except they cannot:

Cancel the subscription
Transfer organization ownership

This role is suited for team leads or managers who handle day-to-day member access and organization settings.

Billing Manager

Billing Managers can view subscription usage, update billing details and tax ID information, update payment methods, and access invoice history.

This role does not count toward paid Business seats. It also does not include Zed-hosted AI models or Edit Predictions through the Business subscription. Billing Managers cannot invite or remove members, change member roles, configure organization settings or data controls, cancel the subscription, or transfer ownership.

On the Members page, select + Invite Member.
Enter the member's company email address and choose a role.
The invitee receives an email with instructions to join. After accepting, they authenticate via GitHub.

Changing a Member's Role

On the Members page, find the member. You can filter by role or search by name.
Open the three-dot menu and select a new role.

Removing a Member

On the Members page, find the member.
Select Remove and confirm.

Removing a member removes their access to organization settings and any organization-managed features. They can continue using Zed on their own.
