Understanding organization permissions and roles in Retrium
User roles apply across your entire organization, not to specific Team Rooms. All members of a Team Room have the same facilitator functionality.
Org Admins and Org Managers can see the members list, add/remove members, and edit Team Room settings, even if they're not part of the Team Room. All Team Room Members can see any changes to the members list or Team Room settings via the Team Room Activity Log.
