Administrative Roles and Permissions

Katalon Platform has 3 (three) management levels:

• Account
• Organization
• Project

The Account level is the highest level, followed by the Organization level, then the Project level.

The Account level is in charge of subscription and billing management functions. One Account is associated with one Organization.

At the Organization level, members can collaborate across several projects. One Organization can own one or multiple Projects.

The Project level facilitates the management of a project and its members.

​Katalon Platform​ organizes users into 4 (four) specific roles:

• Owner: The Owner has the highest authority that has full permissions. This is the default role for the user who creates an Account, Organization, or Project.
• Administrator: The Administrator has the next level of permissions, they are in charge of administrative functions. This role is granted by the Owner.
• Billing Manager: The Billing Manager is responsible for managing billing for Katalon Platform subscriptions. This role is granted by the Owner or Admins. A Billing Manager is under Account level and cannot be added to the Project.
• Member: Members have the lowest level of permissions. This role is automatically assigned to any person accepting the invitation to join an Organization or Project. They can view and run tests, but they do not have any added administrative functions by default. They can be assigned different roles to expand their privileges.

Note:

• For organizations created before December 20th 2023, Katalon still maintains the old structure which has 4 management levels: Account, Organization, Team, and Project. The Account level is the highest, followed by the Organization, Team, and then Project levels.

For a more specific breakdown of what each role's permissions are, refer to:

• Roles and permissions at Account and Organization level

• Roles and permissions at the Project level

• Roles and permissions at the Team level (For organizations created before December 20^th, 2023)
