Team
Bring collaborators into your tribe — invite people by email, hand out the right level of access, and keep your roster clean as it grows.
Running a tribe is rarely a one-person job. A manager helps you ship the next drop, a designer builds the website, a community lead runs your store, a producer schedules the live shows. Team is where you bring those people in — without giving anyone the keys to the whole house.
Every collaborator gets their own login, their own permissions, and their own audit trail. You decide exactly which parts of TribeNest they can touch, and you can change your mind any time.
How team access works
Your tribe always has one owner — the person who created the account. The owner has full access to everything, including billing, payment settings, and the Team page itself, and that role can't be changed or removed.
Everyone else you bring in is a team member. Each member is scoped to a single tribe and gets a custom set of permissions that decide which sections of the dashboard they can see and what they can do there. You can start from a built-in role preset (like Content Manager or Store Manager), or build a permission set from scratch.
When you invite someone, they get an email with a link. If they already have a TribeNest login, they sign in and join instantly. If not, they create an account first — same flow, just one extra step.
Where to start
Inviting team members
Send an invite by email, pick a role preset, and watch what happens on the other end.
Permissions
Every section a member can be granted, what each access level allows, and how to scope a role.
Managing your team
View members, track invites, edit permissions, and remove someone when it's time.
What you'll find on the Team page
Open Team in the sidebar and you land on a two-tab view:
- Members — everyone who currently has access to your tribe, with their access summary and join date.
- Invites — every invitation you've sent, with status (pending, accepted, or expired) and quick actions to resend or cancel.
In the top right, the Invite Member button opens the invite dialog. That's the same starting point whether you're adding your first collaborator or your tenth.
One profile at a time
Permissions are scoped to the tribe you're in. If you run more than one profile, switch to the right one in the profile switcher before sharing access — invites you send only apply to that tribe.
Built-in role presets
To save you from building permissions from scratch every time, TribeNest ships with a handful of opinionated role presets that map to common jobs:
- Admin — broad access across the dashboard, the default starting point for most collaborators.
- Content Manager — focused on posts, blog, website, and the surfaces fans see.
- Store Manager — focused on products, orders, coupons, offers, and invoices.
- Marketing — focused on emails, smart links, ads, and forms.
- Event Manager — focused on events, scheduling, courses, and live streaming.
- Read Only — view-only access across the dashboard for stakeholders who shouldn't edit.
Each preset is a starting point, not a cage. You can pick a preset and then tweak any individual permission to fit the actual job. See permissions for the full breakdown.
A few ground rules
- The owner can never be removed and always has full access.
- You can't remove yourself from the team — ask another member with team access to do it for you.
- Anyone with Team write access can invite, edit, and remove other members, so grant that one carefully.
- Billing lives outside the permissions system — only the owner can change billing or payment settings. See billing.
Trust, then verify
Team access lets people act on your behalf inside your tribe — they can publish posts, refund orders, send emails to your fans, and more. Only invite people you trust, give them the smallest set of permissions that lets them do their job, and review the Members tab from time to time.
