Manage team member roles

Included in: Grammarly Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Grammarly for Education plans
Managed by: Admins, account managers, group managers, and members with custom roles

Members of team plans can be assigned one of three roles: admin, account manager, or user. In Grammarly Enterprise plans, members with the user role can also be granted group manager permissions or assigned a custom role.

Roles

User

The user role grants access to Grammarly’s full range of writing suggestions and limited view-only access to account analytics. This role is assigned by default to new members who join a team’s plan.

User role with group manager permissions

The user role with group manager permissions is designed for team members who need to manage and maintain aspects of their specific team’s product usage. This includes viewing analytics as well as managing style rules and other writing configurations for their team. Team members with group manager permissions can manage the settings only for the teams they are specifically assigned to as group managers. User role with group manager permissions might be suitable for managers or team leaders. You can grant group manager permissions to multiple team members with the user role.

Note: Group manager permissions are available only to Grammarly Enterprise customers. To learn more, please see this article: Group manager permissions for team members

Account manager

The account manager role is designed for team members who want to manage and maintain aspects of their organization’s plan related to product usage. This includes viewing analytics as well as managing style guides and other writing configurations for multiple teams or across the whole organization. Team members with the account manager role might be department heads or managers. You can assign the account manager role to multiple team members.

Admin

The admin role is designed for team members who need full control over all aspects of the team’s plan. Admins have access to everything available under the account manager or group manager roles, plus they can manage IT configurations (including single sign-on) and subscription details for billing purposes. Team members with the admin role might be founders and executives, senior leadership, or someone from the IT department who provisions licenses or handles account administration. You can assign the admin role to multiple team members.

Custom role

Additionally, Grammarly Enterprise customers can create custom roles. Unlike predefined default roles, which come with a fixed set of permissions, custom roles allow enterprise admins to mix and match permissions to create roles that suit their organization’s unique needs.
