TrailerCast has three roles. Each starts with a different default permission set; Global Admin can override any individual permission on any user.

​
The three roles

Global Admin

One per company. Immutable (can only be transferred). Has every permission, regardless of overrides.

Admin

All permissions ON by default. Global Admin can revoke individual permissions and lock the revocation.

Member

Curated default-ON set: upload demos, view team library, review own demos, send share links, leave comments.

Detailed comparison

​
Granular permission grid

Beyond the role defaults, Settings → Security & Permissions shows a checkbox grid of every individual permission for every teammate. Hover any row for an explanation of what that permission unlocks.

​
Lock-by-Global-Admin mechanic

For each permission on each user, the Global Admin can:
  • Allow, user has the permission (role default OR explicit grant)
  • Revoke, user does NOT have the permission, but they could be re-granted later
  • Revoke + Lock, user does NOT have the permission, and only Global Admin can change it
Locked permissions show a lock icon in the user’s matrix. Useful for compliance scenarios (e.g., a contractor who must never see the team library).

​
Transferring Global Admin

If you want to hand off the role:
1

Settings → Security & Permissions → Transfer Global Admin

Button only visible if you ARE the Global Admin.
2

Pick the new GA from the dropdown

Must be an existing teammate.
3

Confirm

Transfer is immediate. You become Admin; they become GA.
Transferring Global Admin is irreversible without the new GA’s cooperation. Pick someone you trust.

​
When to use which role

​
Auditing permission changes

Every permission edit is logged in the audit trail (visible to Global Admin). The log captures:
  • Who made the change
  • What permission was changed
  • Old → new value
  • Timestamp
  • Affected user
