Updated over 3 weeks ago

In Geckoboard, every member has a role with its own level of permissions that determines what the member has access to and what actions they can take within an account. There are two categories of member roles: Editors and Viewers.

Editors include:

Account owners who can view, edit, and manage all dashboards, invite and manage all other roles, manage billing details, and delete the account.
Admin members who can view, edit, and manage all dashboards, as well as invite and manage members (except for Account owner roles).

Viewers include:

View-only members can view all dashboards.
Members with limited dashboard access who can view specific dashboards they are invited to.
