Account Roles, Tiers, and Permissions

3 min read

This guide explains who can do what in MyVideo.Email and how account tier affects feature access.

Roles Overview #

Each user in an organization has a role:

  • Owner
  • Manager
  • User

Role controls what actions a person can perform.
Tier controls which features are available to the organization.


Owner Permissions #

Owners typically have full control, including:

  • Manage billing/subscription
  • Upgrade/downgrade/reactivate account
  • Manage organization settings
  • Add/remove users
  • Manage organization-level controls (including extension controls, where enabled)
  • Connect/disconnect organization-level integrations

Manager Permissions #

Managers can usually:

  • Add/manage users (based on org policy)
  • Manage selected org settings
  • Perform many integration management tasks

Managers typically cannot perform full owner-only billing/subscription actions unless explicitly allowed.


User Permissions #

Standard users can:

  • Use assigned product features
  • Record/send videos (if enabled by plan + account state)
  • Use integrations already configured for their access scope

Users generally cannot manage billing, org-wide settings, or org-level integration administration.


Account Tiers (Feature Access) #

MyVideo.Email has multiple account tiers (for example: Starter/Business/Premium based on your account model).
Key points:

  • Some features are available only on higher tiers.
  • Tier is applied at the organization account level.
  • Users in the org inherit access based on that account tier.

Trial Behavior #

  • Trial accounts map to Premium-level access during trial.
  • Trial is time-limited (for example, 30 days in your current setup).
  • After trial, an active paid subscription is required to retain full access.

Source of Truth for Tier #

Account level is determined from subscription plan data (Keap plan ID) at the account-owner level and stored for organization use.

In practice:

  • Tier is synced on key events (login sync/webhook updates).
  • App uses stored account-level value for normal feature checks.
  • This avoids unnecessary per-request plan lookups.

Extension Access and Permissions #

The Chrome extension is available across tiers, but:

  • Feature availability inside extension follows account tier/permissions.
  • Owners/Managers can disable extension access at org level (if configured).
  • If extension access is disabled, users cannot use extension functionality.

Integrations and Permissions #

Integration behavior depends on role and account state:

  • Organization-level integration actions may require Owner/Manager.
  • If no active integration is connected, send/track features are restricted.
  • Inactive subscription status may limit access to sending features.

Active vs Inactive Accounts #

Active Account #

  • Full access according to tier + role.

Inactive Account (no active subscription) #

  • Access is restricted.
  • Owners may still access account-related pages needed for reactivation.
  • Sending/recording/video-email workflows may be limited until reactivated.

Common Permission Scenarios #

“Why can my teammate log in but not send?” #

Possible causes:

  • No active integration
  • Role limitation
  • Tier limitation
  • Account inactive

“Why can’t I disconnect a provider?” #

  • You may not be Owner/Manager for that provider’s management scope.

“Why does admin show Trial instead of Premium?” #

  • Trial may temporarily grant Premium-level features while still labeled as Trial status.

Best Practices #

  • Keep billing + critical integration ownership with Owner.
  • Grant Manager role only to trusted operators.
  • Review user roles quarterly.
  • Document which features are tier-dependent for your team.
