Owner role

What Owners can do that nobody else can, and what makes the Primary Owner different.

Owners hold every permission in Assignar Pay. Give the role to the few people who are responsible for the organization; for everyone who runs it day to day, Admin is usually enough.

What only Owners can do

By default these permissions belong to Owners and no other role:

  • Manage billing: your organization's Assignar Pay subscription.
  • Delete Schedule of Values.
  • Override workpacks: sign off a workpack row that is blocked by a hold point or waiting for a witness, with a reason. See Who can do what.

Owners and Managers, but not Admins, also hold Delete cost codes and Delete assets. Assignar Pay checks Delete cost codes when you delete cost codes and their categories, and also materials, activities, worker roles and their requirements, and allowances. It checks Delete assets when you delete assets and asset classes.

Everything else an Owner can do, an Admin can do too. See the Permissions reference for the full list.

Act on other people

An Owner can invite people at any role, including other Owners. They can change the role of, adjust the access of, or remove anyone below Owner. One Owner can't change or remove another; only the Primary Owner can.

The Primary Owner

One Owner is the Primary Owner, shown under Access Level on Resources → Users → Members. This is usually the person who created the organization.

  • They can change the role of, adjust or remove every member, including other Owners.
  • Nobody can change their role, adjust their access or remove them.
  • Only they see Transfer Ownership, to make another member the Primary Owner. See Manage your team.
