# What each role can see

## The four roles

**You are the owner** of the workspace you created. There are three roles to give other people: **Subcontractor**, **Team Member** and **Admin**.

## Money is the line

The roles differ mainly in which numbers they can see, and this is enforced on our servers rather than hidden in the app. **Figures a role may not see are removed from the data before it reaches their device.**

| | Prices the customer pays | Your costs and margin |
|---|---|---|
| **Subcontractor** | no | no |
| **Team Member** | yes | no |
| **Admin** | yes | yes |
| **Owner** | yes | yes |

**A Team Member can quote and invoice without seeing your buy prices.** That is the point of the middle row: office staff can do the whole job without your supplier pricing being part of it.

**A subcontractor sees no dollar figure anywhere.** Not a job value, not a line price, not a balance, not an hourly rate, not a total on a report.

## What a role does not change

**A role does not decide which jobs a person can see.** Everyone in your workspace sees the workspace's jobs, contacts and schedule.

**If you want someone looking only at their own work, that is a view, not a role.** Point them at **My Jobs**, which shows the jobs assigned to them.

This is worth being precise about because it is easy to assume the opposite and then be surprised. **The role controls which fields appear and which actions are allowed. It does not partition your workspace.**

## What a role also controls

Beyond money, roles decide who can act:

- **Owners and admins** manage the workspace: settings, boards, the team, integrations and billing.
- **Team members** do the office and field work: contacts, jobs, documents, scheduling, and messaging customers.
- **Subcontractors** work jobs: tasks, photos, time and notes.

**Recording a payment is separate from editing a job.** Team members can record one and send a payment link; deleting a payment is limited to owners and admins, because deleting one erases the record of money.
