Admin and member roles
VerifyPDF has two roles, admin and regular member. This explains exactly what each role can do, including which areas are admin-only.
VerifyPDF has exactly two roles: admin and regular member. Everyone on the account shares the same document history, the same API keys and the same document allowance. The role only changes who can manage the account itself.
What an admin can do
An admin has full control of the account. An admin can:
- Open User management to add and remove members.
- Promote a member to admin, or remove admin rights from another admin.
- Access Billing, including plans, bundles and invoices.
- Verify documents and view the shared history, like everyone else.
To invite someone, see Add a colleague. To change who is an admin, see Remove a colleague or change admin.
What a regular member can do
A regular member can use the product day to day but cannot manage the account. A regular member can:
- Verify documents.
- View the shared document history and reports.
- Use the shared API keys.
- Edit their own profile, password and email.
A regular member does not see User management or Billing. Those areas are hidden, not just locked.
How roles are assigned
New invited users always start as a regular member. An admin can promote them later. There is no owner, viewer or billing-manager role. Admin and regular member are the only two levels.
Keeping at least one admin
An account always needs at least one admin. An admin can remove their own admin rights only if at least one other admin still exists. This keeps someone in control of billing and user management at all times.
What admins can manage
Both of these areas live in the top-right profile menu and are visible to admins only:
- User management, to add, remove and promote members.
- Billing, to manage your plan, bundles and invoices.
