When inviting new Users to your team, you decide what permissions they have.
Each User’s role defines what they can view, manage, or edit — and can be changed anytime by an Owner or Admin.
👥 User Roles
Role | Description | Permissions |
Owner | The person who creates and manages the team workspace. |
|
Admin | Manages users, connectors, and workspace settings. |
|
Contributor | Can actively build and explore the network but not manage others. |
|
Guest | Read-only or limited contributor role, ideal for lightweight collaboration. |

🔗 Connectors
Connectors are people (inside or outside your team) whose professional information helps The Swarm map relationships in your network.
They don’t have roles or permissions because they don’t sign up or access your workspace.
How Connectors work:
Added via LinkedIn URLs
Never notified or invited — they remain external references.
Used by the AI Network Mapper to find shared work overlaps, education overlaps, or shared investor overlaps.
Do not include LinkedIn 1st-degree connections — those are added only by Users through connected data sources.
Cannot receive intro requests or be converted into User roles.
