Roles and Permissions

Create roles, set default roles for new members, use templates, and assign access safely.

Roles group permissions into reusable access profiles. A member can have several roles, and Bluprint combines their permissions. Team owners always have full access.

Roles are scoped to one workspace. If you own several, a role built in one has to be rebuilt in the next.

Manage roles

Open Settings → Roles & Permissions under the Team section. Existing roles show a plain-language access summary, assigned-member count, and permission count.

The Roles & Permissions settings page with custom roles, default roles, and role templates.

Create a role from scratch, or open a role's menu to edit, duplicate, or delete it. Deleting a role immediately removes its permissions from assigned members.

Set defaults for new members

Use Default roles for new members to choose roles applied automatically when an invitation is accepted. Existing members are not changed, and Administrator roles cannot be automatic defaults.

The Defaults section for choosing roles automatically assigned to new Team members.

Start with a template

Role templates cover common creator-Team jobs such as Administrator, Production Manager, Script Writer, Video Editor, Thumbnail Designer, and Thumbnail Lead. Selecting one opens it as a draft, so you can review every permission before creating the role.

In the role editor, capabilities group related product access. Open Advanced raw permissions only for narrow exceptions that a capability does not express cleanly.

Delegate billing

The Billing category holds the four capabilities that move money. They exist so the person who pays does not have to be the only one who can act — a producer can watch the cost, an operations manager can keep the card current, and neither can end the subscription.

CapabilityWhat it allows
See what this workspace costsView the plan, price, invoices, and renewal date. Changes nothing.
Manage billing infoUpdate the card, billing address, and billing email through the Stripe portal.
Manage team membersInvite and remove members, approving the seat cost that comes with it.
Manage add-onsChange the storage tier, toggle Video Reviews, and buy 4K Stream Credits.

Manage billing info and Manage add-ons each include seeing what the workspace costs — you cannot approve a change you cannot see. Manage team members does not: someone can run the team roster without being shown the invoices.

The Billing category in the role editor with its four capabilities.

Four things stay with the owner no matter what you grant: cancelling the subscription, reactivating it, changing the billing schedule, and deleting or transferring the workspace. The line is between spending and existing — a billing manager can change what the workspace costs, only the owner can end it.

Assign roles

Choose Manage members from the Assignments section, then use the role control on each member row. Use View access info from the member menu when you need to understand the combined result of all their roles.
