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
- Open the relevant Plausible site dashboard and go to Settings → Team.
- Locate the collaborator’s account and click the role dropdown.
- Select the new role (Administrator or Viewer) and save.
- To add site access, repeat the invitation process on the new site.
- 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.
Related Considerations
- 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.
