Roles & Permissions

Wire uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage permissions within organizations. Each member has a role that determines what actions they can perform.

Roles Overview

Role	Description
Owner	Full control over the organization
Admin	Can manage members but not organization settings
Member	Read-only access to organization resources

Owner

The owner has complete control over the organization.

Permissions:

• Create, read, update, and delete the organization
• Manage all members (invite, remove, change roles)
• Access billing and subscription settings
• Create and manage all containers
• Configure organization-wide settings

Notes:

• The user who creates an organization is automatically the owner
• Organizations can have multiple owners
• There must always be at least one owner

Admin

Admins can manage team members but cannot modify organization-level settings.

Member

Members have read-only access to the organization.

Container-Level Access

Containers have two visibility settings:

• Private - All organization members can access
• Public - Anyone with the MCP URL can access (no authentication required)

Inviting Members

The invited user will receive an email with a link to join your organization.

Changing Roles

1. Go to Organization Settings → Members
2. Find the member

Note

Admins can change members to Admin or Member, but cannot promote anyone to Owner or change an Owner’s role.

Removing a member immediately revokes their access to all containers in the organization.
