What can an editor do that an admin can't, and the other way round?

Org editors do the day-to-day work with members, renewals, payments, events and sends; Org admins can also change Organization Settings and manage users.

There are two roles in an organization.

Org editor does the day-to-day work: members, renewals, dues, payments and receipts, events and check-in, tasks, emailing members, and exporting the member list.

Org admin can do everything an editor can, and also:

open Organization Settings — membership levels, terms and renewal rules, renewal notices, renewal questions and the membership card
manage Users & roles and Active sessions
change Sign-in & security
read the Audit log
revoke a member's renewal link from the member record

An editor does not see Organization Settings in the menu. If an editor opens a settings page by its address, they are sent back to Home.

People at 2Labs hold a separate Global admin role. It has no role in your organization. When 2Labs support enters your organization, a banner shows it, and the session is read-only unless they choose Enable changes and give a reason.
