User roles and permissions

Workspace roles​

  • Member — actively works in Starhive.
  • Admin — manages the workspace, including users and permissions.
  • Owner — created the workspace, or had ownership transferred to them. Exactly one per workspace; only the owner can delete the workspace.
  • External — a restricted role for users outside your organization (e.g. guests provisioned via SSO/SCIM from a partner IdP); scoped down from a regular Member.

External is confirmed as a real role in the codebase (Identity.Role enum: MEMBER, ADMIN, OWNER, EXTERNAL), but its exact permission boundaries above are our best inference, not verified against a live workspace. If you administer external/guest users, confirm the specifics in Workspace settings before relying on this table.
