What are the three tinyanalytics roles?
- Owner — full control, including renaming and deleting the organization. An organization can have more than one owner.
- Admin — manages sites, settings, members, and teams, but can’t rename or delete the organization.
- Member — views analytics for the sites they can access, and saves their own personal segments and cohorts.
What each role can do
Anything that creates or changes shared data requires the owner or admin role — that’s the “requires an admin” note you’ll see throughout these guides. A plain member can always view the reports they have access to and save their own personal segments and cohorts.
Rules that protect ownership
- Only an owner can change another owner’s role.
- You can’t change your own role — someone else with permission must.
- A member’s site access can be narrowed with teams: mark them restricted, and they see only their teams’ sites. Owners and admins can’t be restricted.
How do roles relate to site access?
Role controls what you can do; teams control which sites a restricted member can do it on. An unrestricted member has access to every site in the organization; a restricted member is limited to their teams’ sites. Owners and admins always have access to all sites.Frequently asked questions

Can I change my own role?
No. You can’t change your own role — someone else with permission must. Only an owner can change another owner’s role. Both rules protect an organization from losing its ownership.
How do I give someone access to only one site?
How do I give someone access to only one site?
Use teams. Create a team, grant it the sites that person should see, add them to it, and mark them restricted. A restricted member sees only their teams’ sites. Owners and admins can’t be restricted — they always have access to every site.
