Update Plausible Roles for the collaborator

Modify the collaborator’ Plausible permissions when site coverage or responsibilities change.

When to Update

  • New domains are added to your Plausible account and the collaborator needs access.
  • Engagement scope narrows and the collaborator should move from Administrator to Viewer rights.
  • Your security team introduces MFA or rotates account passwords.

Update Workflow

  1. Open the relevant Plausible site dashboard and go to Settings → Team.
  2. Locate the collaborator’s account and click the role dropdown.
  3. Select the new role (Administrator or Viewer) and save.
  4. To add site access, repeat the invitation process on the new site.
  5. Communicate the change to the collaborator’s engagement lead.

Validation

  • Confirm the Team list reflects the updated role.
  • Ask the collaborator to log in and verify the correct sites appear with the appropriate permissions.
  • Record the change in your IAM tracker along with the request and approval details.
  • Update API keys or automation tokens if privilege levels change.
  • If you manage Plausible self-hosted, ensure server-level credentials are adjusted separately.
  • Review Slack or email alerts to ensure the collaborator continues (or stops) receiving notifications based on the new role.
