This page applies to the Enterprise plan only. Separate account admin and workspace admin roles exist only on Enterprise.On the Core and Pro plans, your account has a single account admin (typically the account owner) and there is no separate workspace admin role. If you’re on Core or Pro, see Managing Members and Roles, Groups and Access instead—the Admin role described there is your account admin.
How the two roles relate
Your Replit account is the billing entity that owns your subscription, seats, and one or more workspaces (your organizations)—Enterprise accounts can contain more than one. The two admin roles map onto these two scopes:- Account admins govern the whole account. They control billing and have administrative access across every workspace under the account.
- Workspace admins govern only the specific workspace (or workspaces) they belong to. They have no billing access and no control over other workspaces.
Account admin
Account-wide. Manages billing, seats, security settings, and every workspace under the account.
Workspace admin
Workspace-scoped. Manages members and resources within their own workspaces only.
What each role can do
Both roles administer workspaces—the difference is which workspaces. An account admin administers every workspace under the account, while a workspace admin administers only the workspaces they belong to.| Capability | Account admin | Workspace admin |
|---|---|---|
| Manage members in workspaces they administer | Yes | Yes |
| Manage apps, groups, and resources in workspaces they administer | Yes | Yes |
| View and edit billing, payment methods, and invoices | Yes | No |
| Edit, cancel, or restore the subscription | Yes | No |
| Add, remove, and assign seats | Yes | No |
| Set spending and usage limits | Yes | No |
| Create new workspaces | Yes | No |
| Manage other account admins | Yes | No |
| Administer every workspace under the account | Yes | No |
| Configure SAML, SCIM, audit logs, and security contacts | Yes | No |
Billing, seat management, subscription changes, and account-wide security controls require an account admin. A workspace admin cannot perform these actions, even within their own workspace.
Configuring account admins
Account admins are managed from the Seats tab in your settings. Adding an account admin grants account-wide administrative access and automatically makes that person an admin in every workspace under the account.Promote a member to account admin
Open the Seats tab
From your settings, open the Seats tab. This tab lists the people in your account along with their current role.
Demote an account admin
Demoting an account admin removes their account-wide and billing access. By default, demotion does not remove them from their workspaces—they keep workspace access independently of account admin status.
A few rules protect your account from losing administrative access:
- You cannot demote yourself.
- You cannot remove the last account admin. Your account must always have at least one.
- You cannot demote the owner of a personal account.
SCIM-provisioned admins
If you provision users through SCIM, a user assigned the Admin role by your identity provider becomes an account admin. To create a workspace-scoped admin, assign the Workspace admin role in Replit rather than through your identity provider.Configuring workspace admins
Assign the workspace admin role to give someone full administrative control of a specific workspace without granting account-wide or billing access. This is useful when a team lead should run their own workspace but should not manage the subscription or other teams.Open the workspace members list
Open the workspace whose admin you want to assign, then go to its Members page.
A workspace admin’s access stops at the workspaces they belong to. They cannot access billing, manage seats, or administer other workspaces—those actions require an account admin.
Choosing the right role
- Assign account admin to people who own billing, manage the subscription and seats, configure security settings, or need oversight across every workspace.
- Assign workspace admin to people who run a single team or workspace and should manage its members and resources without touching billing or other workspaces.
