Roles and Permissions
Understand what each role can do in Vid Receipts.
Every user in a custom feed has a role that determines what they can do. Here's what each role means in plain language.
Owner — Full control
- Create, edit, and delete any receipt in the feed
- Comment and vote on receipts
- Manage feed settings (name, description, visibility)
- Invite and remove members, change roles
- Delete the feed entirely
Every feed has exactly one Owner: the person who created it.
Admin — Almost everything
- Everything an Owner can do, except deleting the feed
- Great for trusted collaborators who help manage the feed day-to-day
