You can assign different roles to the members in your workspace to define what resources they can access. To do this, navigate to the Workspace Members page by clicking on the profile image on the right top of the app and selecting your workspace:
From the Workspace Members page, you can make members:
Admins who can manage your members, billing settings
Editors who can create content, export designs, and edit them
Developers who can access technical specs and assets of designs
and Reviewers who can make comments on the designs
We recommend assigning the “All project access” to a director, lead, or member with an Admin role in the workspace, so that they can help assign roles, update access levels, and add new members.
Besides assigning roles, you can also manage the access levels of your members in your workspace. Learn more here.
Roles
Workspace members can have four different roles: Admin, Editor, Developer, and Reviewer.

The Owner is also considered an Admin.

* Owner or Admins can manage who can add a member with a paid role or change a member's role from free to paid. Learn more about Workspace settings here.
☝️ While assigning roles, if you don't have any seats available and you select Admin, Editor, Editor/Developer, or Developer as the role, Zeplin will give anyone with an Admin or Owner role a 7-day grace period to confirm these additional seats added. Members who are not reviewed within 7 days will be confirmed automatically, and new seats will be added to the subscription.
New members
You can assign roles while inviting new members to your workspace from the Workspace Members page.
Existing members
To change a role of an existing member, click on their role dropdown.
☝️ To be able to change a user's role to Admin, first, you'll need to change their access level to "All projects".
To assign a specific role to multiple members at once, you can select them by dragging and clicking over a group of users and using the “Assign role” button.
Another way to select multiple members is to press and hold the Command key for Mac, and Ctrl for Windows, then click on the users.
You can also use the search bar to help filter members by domains, emails, names, and usernames.
