User roles

Wave's role model is intentionally simple. Two roles, one promotion path. Most teams won't need more granular permissions, and if you do, tell us — that's how we know to build it.

Admin

Admins can:

• Edit Company Info (logo, address, license numbers)
• Manage the Teams tab — invite, remove, change roles
• Manage Billings — change plan, update payment method, see invoice history
• Plus everything a Member can do

The person who created your team's Wave account is the first Admin. Admins can promote other teammates from the Teams tab.

Member

Members can:

• Create, edit, duplicate, and export estimates
• Upload photos, edit chat, manage their own work
• View estimates created by other team members
• Edit their own Personal Info

Members cannot:

• Edit Company Info
• Manage the team roster
• See or change billing

Changing someone's role

From Profile Settings → Teams, an Admin can promote a Member to Admin or demote an Admin to Member at any time.

What we don't have (yet)

• No separate "Owner" role. Every Admin has the same authority.
• No read-only role. Members can edit any estimate they have access to, not just their own.
• No granular permissions (e.g., "can edit estimates but not delete," "can see billing but not change plan"). The split is binary.

If your team needs finer permissions to operate — for example, separating estimators from billing controllers — email hello@buildwithwave.com. Roadmap signal helps.
