QRtub has two roles: Owner and Editor. Editor is the default for anyone you invite. There is no third role, and no way to change a member’s role after the fact — the role is chosen when the invitation is sent.

There is no read-only role

You cannot give someone view-only access. Every member you invite can create Collections and Items, edit any Item’s fields, create and edit Links, build and change Pages, and run print batches. If a person should not be able to change your data, do not add them to the team. The word “viewer” appears nowhere in the product, and an Editor cannot be restricted to a single Collection either — team membership is all-or-nothing across everything the team owns.

What the owner can do that an Editor cannot

Permissions key off one thing: whether you are the team’s owner, the single person recorded as owning the team. That is the only distinction the system actually enforces: Deleting a Media template or a Media batch is owner-only too. Deleting a Link is not — any member can delete or release Links, including ones somebody else created. An Editor’s delete of a Collection or an Item fails quietly. The confirmation goes through and you may see no error at all, but the record is still there when the list reloads. If a member reports that deletes “don’t stick,” this is why: they are not the owner. Ask the owner to do it.

Why the Owner label grants nothing

The invite form lets you pick Owner as the role for the person you are inviting. That choice only sets the word shown in the members table’s Access column. It does not make them the team’s owner and it grants none of the powers in the table above — they still see the Team page as a non-owner, with no Edit button, no invite card and no Subscription section. The team’s real owner changes in exactly one place: when the current owner leaves the team, which hands ownership to another member as part of leaving. There is no separate transfer-ownership screen. See Leaving a Team.
