Administration

Users & Roles

Driver uses role-based access control (RBAC) at three levels: organization, team, and source. Each level has specific roles that determine what a user can do.

Role Hierarchy

Level Role Permissions
OrganizationOrg AdminFull control over all settings, users, teams, sources, and integrations
OrganizationOrg MemberAccess determined by team and source-level grants
TeamTeam AdminManage team members, team sources, and team settings
TeamTeam MemberView team info and access team sources
SourceSource AdminFull control over a specific source, manage who can access it
SourceSource MemberView and interact with source content

Note: A user's effective access to any source is the highest role from all their grants (direct, team, or org-wide).

Inviting Users

  1. Open organization settings — Go to Settings > Organization in the Driver web app.
  2. Click Invite — Enter the user's email address.
  3. Assign an organization role — Select Org Admin or Org Member. Org Admins get full control. Org Members need explicit access through teams or direct source grants.

Key Principle

Org Admins bypass all access checks. They can view and manage every source, team, and setting in the organization.

Everyone else needs explicit access through one of these paths: a direct source assignment, a team that has been granted access to a source, or an organization-wide source grant.
