Roles: facilitator and administrator

Within your organization, every member has one of two roles: facilitator or administrator. Retro participants have no role and don't even need an account.

Facilitator (Scrum master)

A facilitator creates boards, picks templates and guides the team through the phases of a retro (collect, group, vote, actions). See Phases of a retro. Facilitators only see and manage the teams they have access to.

Administrator

An administrator manages the organization itself: inviting or removing members, creating teams, assigning roles and managing the subscription (upgrading, viewing invoices). An administrator can of course also facilitate retros themselves.

Participants and guests

People who join a retro board have no role and no account — they join through the participant link and contribute anonymously or under a chosen name. See Inviting your team.

Assigning roles

You choose a member's role when inviting them, and an administrator can always change this later. See Inviting members for the steps. More on how your workspace is structured is in Organization and teams.
