If you are an organization owner, you can add members to your organizations and projects. You assign organization members a specific role that determines the member’s permissions within the Pinecone console. This page explains organization roles and permissions, and how to manage organization users. For information about managing members at the project-level, see Manage project members.

​
Organization roles

There are two organization roles: organization owner and organization user. When you invite a member at the organization-level, you assign one of the following roles:
  • Organization owner: Organization owners have global permissions across the organization. This includes managing billing details, organization members, and all projects. Organization owners are automatically project owners and, therefore, have all project owner permissions as well.
  • Organization user: Organization users have restricted organization-level permissions. When inviting organization users, you also choose the projects they belong to and the project role they should have. Organization users are automatically project owners and, therefore, have all project owner permissions as well.
The following table summarizes the permissions for each organization role:
