You can assign or change a user’s permissions by clicking your organization’s name in the top left corner and then clicking Settings. In your organization’s settings, go to the Users section.
Global Permission
The global permission a user is granted affects what they can do within your organization, and is the default permission granted when new forms are created within the organization.
- Owners can manage the organization, plans, and billing, as well as manage users, forms, and entries. Only owners can assign other owners or delete the organization.
- Administrators can manage users, forms, and entries.
- Editors can manage form entries, but cannot build or publish forms.
- Reviewers can only view or export form entries, but cannot make changes.
- Limited Access users can log in, but only have access to forms for which they have been given specific permissions.
