StreamLive ProTeam roles: what Viewer, Editor and Manager can do
What each StreamLive Pro team role can do, what no team member can ever reach, and how to give one person view-only or no access to a single area.
A StreamLive Pro team member works in your workspace with one of three roles. A Viewer can look but not change anything. An Editor and a Manager can work in the account: go live, schedule, make Shorts, translate, publish and read analytics. Some areas are never open to a team seat, whatever the role: billing and invoices, your account settings, the team itself, API keys and the ChatGPT or Claude connections. For finer control, the Access button next to each member sets every area separately to Edit, View or None.

The three roles
| Role | What the person can do | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Viewer | Open and read everything a seat can reach. Any change is refused with "Your role in this workspace is read-only" | A client, a manager who follows results |
| Editor (the default) | Read and change everything a seat can reach: lives, schedules, Shorts, translation, publishing, connections | A producer, an editor, a social media person |
| Manager | The same reach as Editor today | A partner who runs the account day to day |
The invitation window describes Editor as "stream and publish" and Manager as "all actions except billing". In the current version the two roles open the same areas. If you want an Editor to stay out of some areas, use Access, below.
What a team seat never reaches
Whatever the role, a team member working in your workspace cannot open:
- Billing: the plan, payments, invoices, coupons and cancelling.
- Your account settings: your profile, password, sessions and two-factor authentication.
- The team: inviting, removing or changing other members.
- API keys and Connected apps and API (ChatGPT, Claude): API keys for developers: create, use and revoke, Use StreamLive Pro from ChatGPT and Claude.
- Webhooks, and your support conversations.
- The desktop app's computer list, which is used once that app is released.
The member still sees your plan's limits and storage use, so the dashboard can show how much is left. Everything they do counts toward your plan, because they work in your account.
Limit one area: the Access button
- Open the team list. Choose Settings, then Team. Each member has an Access button next to the remove button.
- Press Access. The Team member access window opens, with the role at the top.
- Set each area. There are seven areas: Streams and schedule, Storage and recordings, Clips and editing, Translation and subtitles, Publishing, Analytics, Channel connections. Each can be By role, View, Edit or None.
- Save. Press Save. The button then shows how many areas you set, for example Access (2).
- Give it a minute. The new access applies within about a minute, also for someone who is working right now.
What the person sees after a change: in an area set to None, "Your team seat has no access to this area". In an area set to View, they can open it, and a change is refused with "Your team seat can only view this area". By role keeps whatever the role allows.
Examples
For example, an editor who cuts Shorts but must not publish: role Editor, Publishing set to View. A client who follows results only: role Viewer, every area By role. A producer who runs lives but should not touch the connected channels: role Editor, Channel connections set to View.
What can go wrong
| What the member sees | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Your role in this workspace is read-only | The member is a Viewer | Change the role in Access to Editor if they need to make changes |
| Your team seat has no access to this area | That area is set to None | Change the area to View or Edit in Access |
| This area belongs to the workspace owner | They opened billing, account settings or the team | These are owner-only; the owner does it |
| Your access to that workspace was removed | The owner removed the member | They are back in their own account; invite them again if it was a mistake |
| Only their own account appears | They are still in their own workspace | Choose your workspace in the workspace selector |
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Editor and Manager?
In the current version both roles reach the same areas. Use the Access button to narrow what one person can change.
Can a team member see my invoices or change my plan?
No. Billing, payments and invoices are never available through a team seat, in any role.
Can I let someone edit Shorts but not publish them?
Yes. Give them the Editor role, then in Access set Publishing to View.
Can a team member connect ChatGPT or Claude to my account?
No. Connected apps and API keys belong to the account owner and are not available through a team seat.
Do team members use my plan's limits?
Yes. They work inside your account, so lives, Shorts, storage and translation count toward your plan.
