What is the difference between the Admin and Collaborator roles on the team?
The Role pre-fills the permissions and determines three powers that only an Admin can have. What the member sees day to day comes from Page Permissions and the allowed accounts, which you adjust before saving.
- Admin: the default role when the New Member window opens. It selects all standard pages and leaves accounts unrestricted. Only an Admin can receive Team (manage members and view history), Connect Meta, and Connect Google, and you select each one on purpose: no shortcut turns them on.
- Collaborator: the Team, Connect Meta, and Connect Google boxes disappear and are unchecked. The other pages stay selected as they were, so for tailored access, clear by hand whatever the member shouldn't see and choose their accounts.
With Team, the Admin gets the same powers as you on that page (except My Subscription and removing themselves). With Connect Meta/Google, they can manage profile connections for your account. The MCP Server is available to all members.
