Role details

Admin

Full access to everything. Admins can manage users, connectors, AI Memory, billing, and the GRC audit dashboard. The first user who creates the organization automatically becomes an Admin.

Best for: Team leads, data team managers, IT administrators.

Power User

Can do everything an Analyst can, plus configure AI Memory and view usage/audit logs. Cannot manage connectors or users.

Best for: Senior analysts, data engineers who configure the platform but don’t manage infrastructure.

Analyst

Can ask questions, save and share reports, use SQL Live Edit, and export data. Cannot configure AI Memory or view audit logs.

Best for: Data analysts, business analysts, anyone who works with data regularly.

Member

Can ask questions and view reports shared with them. The simplest role — designed for business users who just need answers.

Best for: Executives, sales reps, marketers, operations staff — anyone who needs data but doesn’t work with it daily.

Connector-level access

Beyond roles, Admins can control which connectors each role can access. This lets you:

  • Restrict production database access to Admins and Power Users
  • Give Analysts access to the analytics warehouse but not the production database
  • Limit Members to a curated subset of data sources

Configure connector access in Settings > Connectors.

Spend limits by role

Admins can set per-query and daily byte scan limits for each role:

  • Admins — full org access within plan caps
  • Power Users — higher limits
  • Analysts — moderate limits
  • Members — lower limits to prevent costly queries

This prevents accidental expensive queries from users who may not understand the cost implications.

Changing roles

Admins can change any user’s role from the Users admin page. Role changes take effect immediately.
