What is an owner account?

EasyContent has two main account types: Owner Account and Member Account.

An Owner Account is created directly on EasyContent. A Member Account belongs to someone who was invited to join EasyContent to work on a project owned by someone else. It's possible for one account to be both an Owner Account and a Member Account simultaneously. For example, when an Owner Account is invited by another Owner Account user to work on their project.

The Owner Account always has the admin role, referred to as "owner admin." This role is permanent and cannot be modified, even by the Owner Account's user.

Owner Admin vs Regular Admin

As we've mentioned earlier, the owner admin is the account's owner. However, a member account can also have an admin role. A member account with an admin role is called a regular admin. While the two types of admin roles have almost completely identical capabilities, there are a few significant differences between the two:

• Owner admin will always have access to the roles page regardless of permissions
• Owner admin can always edit roles and permissions regardless of permissions
• Owner admin can always create new roles regardless of permissions
• Owner admin can edit a regular admin's profile if they have the correct permissions
• Regular admin can't edit an owner admin's profile no matter the permissions

Even if all permissions were to be removed from the admin role, the owner admin will still and will always have access to the Roles page. Not only they can access it, but they can also reconfigure roles and permissions at will. They can even create custom roles and give them custom permissions.

Aside from that difference, there's another one that makes the owner admin distinct from a regular admin. The owner admin's profile can't be edited by a regular admin no matter the permissions, but an owner admin can edit a regular admin's profile if they have the proper permissions.
