# Team Roles and Permissions for Multi-Inspector Companies
> Invite sub-inspectors and support staff to Hive Inspect, choose what each person can do with permission switches, and see which team members need a paid seat.
In the dashboard: Teams
## Roles on a Hive team
Everyone on your team signs in with their own login. The **Teams** page lists each team member, their role and how many permissions they have, for example **8/11 Permissions granted**.
| Role | What it covers |
| - | - |
| **Org owner** | Owns the organization. Always has **Financial Data Access**. |
| **Admin** | Always has **Financial Data Access**. Admins can update other team members' settings. |
| **Inspector** | Does inspections. When an inspector creates a booking, they are selected as its inspector automatically. |
| **Sub-Inspector** | Can create and manage inspections, upload photos, generate reports, and handle client communications. Meant for field inspectors working under your organization. |
| **Support Staff** | Can view inspections, assist with data entry, and help coordinate schedules. Meant for administrative assistants and office staff. |
Bookings created by support staff are assigned to the company's default inspector. Bookings created by an inspector or sub-inspector are assigned to that person. See [Schedule inspections](/inspections-and-reports/schedule-inspections).
## Invite a team member
* Go to **Teams** in the dashboard.
* Click **Invite User**.
* Enter their **Email Address**. They receive an email with a link to join your organization.
* Under **Role**, choose **Sub-Inspector** or **Support Staff**.
* Click **Send Invitation**.
* **View Invitations** on the same page lists the invitations you have sent.
## Set permissions for one person
Each team member has their own set of permission switches. Turn on only what that person needs.
* On the **Teams** page, click **Manage** next to the team member.
* The **Manage Permissions** window opens with one switch per permission.
* Flip the switches you want. **Select All** turns every switch on, and **Clear All** turns every switch off.
* Click **Save Changes**.
| Permission | What it allows |
| - | - |
| **Schedule Management** | View all team members' calendars and manage inspection schedules |
| **Edit Inspections** | Modify inspection details and information |
| **Delete Inspections** | Permanently remove inspections from the system |
| **Publish Reports** | Generate and publish inspection reports to clients |
| **Edit Templates** | Modify and customize inspection templates |
| **Manage Contacts** | Add, edit, and delete client contacts |
| **Financial Data Access** | View and manage pricing, invoices, and payments |
| **Business Tools** | Access agreements, services, discount codes, and other business tools |
| **Business Metrics** | View organization performance metrics, analytics, and reports |
| **Manage Subscriptions** | View and manage organization subscriptions, billing, and payment methods |
| **Manage Team** | Invite team members, manage permissions, and view team information |
Turn off **Publish Reports** for a trainee or sub-inspector if you want an admin to check their reports first. See [Review reports before they're published](/inspections-and-reports/review-before-publishing).
## Financial Data Access
**Financial Data Access** controls who can view and manage pricing, invoices and payments. Org owners and admins always have it. Other team members need it turned on in **Teams**.
For example, changing the credit card fee on a single inspection needs **Financial Data Access**. See [Technology fee](/how-tos/technology-fee). Issuing a refund as a non-admin in a multi-inspector company also needs the right permission turned on in **Teams**.
## Seats and billing
* **Anyone who does inspections needs a paid seat.** That includes trainees and sub-inspectors. Each additional inspector is $69/month, or $599/year on the annual plan.
* **Office and support staff don't take an inspector seat.** Office managers get their own **Support Staff** login to schedule and manage inspections.
* **The 10-report package and the new-inspector plan are for single-inspector businesses.** You can't add inspectors on either one.
You manage your plan under **Business Tools → Subscriptions**. The **Manage Subscriptions** permission lets a team member view and manage subscriptions, billing and payment methods.
## Related team tools
* **Pay splits:** decide how inspector pay is split on each job under **Business Tools → Pay-Splits**, also linked from the **Teams** page. You can let sub-inspectors see their own earnings. See [Sep 27, 2026 updates](/whats-new/sep-27-2026).
* **Several inspectors on one job:** add more than one inspector to an inspection when you schedule it. See [Schedule inspections](/inspections-and-reports/schedule-inspections).
* **Working hours:** set each inspector's availability so online booking only offers times they can take. See [Team availability](/onboarding/team-availability).
* **Hours worked:** review inspector clock-in and clock-out times. See [Hourly Time Tracker](/business-tools/hourly-time-tracker).
## FAQ
Yes. Everyone who does inspections needs their own paid seat, including trainees and sub-inspectors.
No. Office and support staff get their own login with the **Support Staff** role and don't take an inspector seat.
Org owners and admins always can. Anyone else needs **Financial Data Access** turned on for them in **Teams → Manage**.
Yes. Turn off **Publish Reports** for that person in **Teams → Manage** and click **Save Changes**. Their finished reports then go to an admin to publish.
