⚡ TL;DR One Primary Owner controls exports and ownership transfer; Owners handle billing, security and integrations; Admins manage members; Users chat and use projects.

Clear roles keep a company workspace safe. Here's how Claude roles and permissions divide responsibility on Team and Enterprise.

Who does what. 🗝️

👑 Primary Owner

There's only one per organization, and it uses a plan license. Only the Primary Owner can request data exports and transfer Primary Ownership.

🔑 Owners

Owners manage billing, invoices, seats, integrations and capabilities, plus SSO, audit logs, data retention and member roles.

🛠️ Admins and Users

The day-to-day roles:

👥 Admins: invite and remove members; on Enterprise, view usage analytics
💬 Users: create chats and use projects, without member or billing controls

💡 Pro tip Keep at least two Owners so billing and security never depend on one person.

🚀 Assigning Claude Roles and Permissions

Match roles to responsibility: finance and IT as Owners, team leads as Admins, everyone else as Users.
