Team roles determine what each member can do within your Meilisearch Cloud projects. This guide covers the available roles, their permissions, and how to change a member’s role.

​
Available roles

​
Owner

The team owner has full administrative control:
  • Create, configure, and delete projects
  • Access and modify billing information and plans
  • Invite and remove team members
  • Change team member roles
  • Rename the team
  • Transfer team ownership
A team may only have one owner at a time.

​
Member

Team members have operational access:
  • View all projects in the team
  • Perform search queries
  • View project settings and API keys
  • Access project metrics and logs
Members cannot modify billing information, delete projects, or manage team membership.

​
Change a member’s role

  1. Log in to the Meilisearch Cloud dashboard
  2. Navigate to Team settings
  3. Find the member whose role you want to change
  4. Click the role dropdown next to their name
  5. Select the new role
Only the team owner can change member roles.

​
Transfer team ownership

To transfer ownership to another team member:
  1. Navigate to Team settings
  2. Find the member you want to promote to owner
  3. Click the role dropdown and select Owner
This action transfers your owner privileges to the selected member. You become a regular member of the team. This action cannot be undone without the new owner’s cooperation.

​
Role inheritance for projects

Roles apply at the team level and affect all projects within that team. There is no per-project role assignment. If you need different access levels for different projects, consider creating separate teams for each project or group of projects. Since there are no costs associated with creating teams, you can freely organize your projects across multiple teams to match your access control needs.
