Manage Console user permissions
How organisations and apps work together in Console. What it means to be an admin, developer or view-only Console user.
You can assign user permissions within apps. Within each app, users can be assigned one of three roles. Each app has its own client_id and a pair of GBP and EUR merchant accounts.
Apps belong to organisations. When a new user signs up to Console and creates an app, Console also creates an organisation, which initially only contains that app. This user has the Owner role in the organisation.
When signed into the organisation, the Owner can create more apps, which become part of the organisation. The owner can manage user roles across all apps in the organisation they own.
When someone signs up to Console and creates a new app, this creates a new organisation.
Each organisation can contain multiple apps, and each app can have multiple users with various roles.
Users can have different roles in different apps. These roles determine a user's permissions and access.
Users can be a member of multiple organisations. If they are, they can switch organisation through the dropdown menu in the top-right corner of Console.

There are five possible roles that you can have as a member of an app within an organisation:

Migrating from the previous version of Console?
If you had the member role in the previous version of the Team members page, you will automatically be given the developer role once you migrate to the new version of the page.
If you had the admin role, you will remain an admin.
