Member permissions

View as Markdown

Use the Fern Dashboard to assign roles to your teammates.

Coming soon

Member permissions are in active development. Reach out via Slack or support@buildwithfern.com for more information.

Role types

Member roles control what actions someone can take in your organization, such as managing settings, viewing analytics, and publishing to production. CLI access determines who can publish SDKs and documentation sites to production (local development doesn’t require it).

Admin

Admins have full administrative access to your Fern organization and full CLI access. They can:

  • Manage members, including adding and removing roles.
  • Publish SDKs and documentation sites to production.

Editor

Editors can work with SDKs and documentation, but can’t edit Fern organization settings or manage members. CLI access is enabled or disabled per Editor:

  • Editors with CLI access can publish SDKs and documentation sites to production.
  • Editors without CLI access can’t publish to production.

Viewer

Viewers have read-only access to the Dashboard and analytics. They can’t edit organization settings, manage members, or publish to production.
