People and roles

Open Site settings → Sharing and access. People with access is one list: the owner, organization admins, teams (open one to see who is in it), people added directly and pending invitations, each marked with how they got access. One field adds a person by e-mail or a team by name. If they have no account yet they get an invitation (self-hosted: set TIDEMARK_INVITES=true); otherwise they need an account first, which administrators create under Account settings → Users.

The People section of the Sharing and access tab

Role Can do
Owner Everything, including deleting the site. One per site, and it can't be changed or removed.
Admin View stats, change settings, goals, shields, shared links and people
Viewer View stats only

Roles are per site. Someone can be a viewer on one site and an admin on another. A person with access in several ways (directly, through teams, as an organization admin) gets the strongest role. See Organizations and Teams.

Installation administrators#

An administrator manages users and installs updates. That is separate from site roles.

Registration#

Self-hosted installations keep registration closed. Set TIDEMARK_REGISTRATION=true to allow sign-ups. See Configuration.
