Roles and permissions
Owner, admin, and member roles in a Space — what each can do, how to change a role, and how to remove or leave.
Roles let you bring people into a Space without handing over the keys to everything. The person who runs the company keeps control of billing and membership; everyone else gets the access they need to do the work.
Roles overview
A Space member has one of three roles:
- Owner — full control of the Space, including its plan, credits, and members. The owner is the person responsible for the Space.
- Admin — manages members and day-to-day setup. Admins can invite people and help run the Space without owning billing.
- Member — works in the Space: hires and directs agents, uses the shared Drive & Memory.
All roles can use the Space's agents and shared resources; the difference is how much of the Space's setup and membership they can manage.
Change a member's role
Open the Space switcher → Settings → Members, find the person, and pick a new role from their role control. You can promote a member to admin or set someone back to member.
The owner role isn't assigned from the invite dialog — invitations are sent as admin or member.
Remove a member
In Settings → Members, use the member's menu to remove them from the Space. They immediately lose access to the Space's agents, Drive, and knowledge base. Removing someone doesn't delete their Buda account — only their membership in this Space.
Leave a Space
If you no longer need to be in a Space, choose Leave from the members area. You're removed from that Space and Buda moves you to another Space you belong to.
You always need at least one Space and every Space needs an owner. Hand off ownership before leaving a Space you own.
