Work Together — A Guide to FlowFn Teams & Roles

Building alone is fine until it isn't. The moment a second person needs to touch your workflows — a developer to build, a colleague to review, an accountant to handle billing — you need Teams. A FlowFn team owns your apps and artifacts, and roles decide who can do what: who builds, who manages, who just watches. Bring people in without handing them the keys to everything.

A team is the account everything belongs to — your apps, workflows, and the rest are all owned by a team, not by you personally. You can belong to several teams, and each membership carries a role that governs your permissions. Here's the Teams page:

The Teams grid: team cards with roles, stats, and a pending invitation

Each card shows your role on that team (Owner, Admin…), the team's stats, and its members. Up top, a pending invitation waits to be accepted. You can be an owner of one team and an admin of another — the role is per-team.


The five roles

Roles are the heart of it. From most to least powerful:

Role Can…
Owner Everything — transfer, archive, or delete the team, manage billing, manage members, and full build access.
Admin Manage members and settings, and full build (create/edit/delete artifacts) — but not transfer/delete the team or touch billing.
Developer Build: create and edit artifacts and manage connections. No member management, no deletes.
Billing View the team and manage billing only — no access to the build surfaces.
Viewer Read-only.

That spread lets you match access to the person: a contractor gets Developer (they can build but can't remove teammates or nuke resources), your accountant gets Billing (they see invoices, not your workflows), a stakeholder gets Viewer.


Inviting people

Open a team's Members and you get the roster and an invite box:

The Members drawer: roles, per-member actions, and the invite footer

Every member shows their role, and each row has actions to change access, deactivate, or remove them. Notice the details this surfaces: a pending member who hasn't accepted yet, and a scoped member — a Developer or Viewer whose access you've narrowed to specific resources rather than the whole team. To invite someone, type their email, pick a role, and Send invite; if they don't have a FlowFn account yet, one is created and they get an email. (Only an owner can invite another owner — a small guardrail so ownership can't be handed out casually.)

Creating a whole new team is just as quick — name it, pick an accent, and invite your first people in one drawer:

Switching, and the safety rails

You switch between teams from the team switcher (in the dashboard chrome) — the "current team" is what every page you open belongs to. A few rules keep things safe:

  • The owner can't just leave or be removed. To step away, an owner must first transfer ownership to an active member (the old owner becomes an admin).
  • Deleting a team is deliberate. You type the team's handle to confirm, and the team must be empty — no apps, and no other active members (pending invites and deactivated members don't block it) — so a live team can't vanish by accident.
  • The handle is immutable. You can rename a team and change its look, but its @handle (used to reference it) never changes.
  • Access is revocable and clean. Remove someone and their scoped grants are wiped too — no stale access lingering.

Plans set how many teams you can own and how many members each team can have, and whether scoped access (that per-resource narrowing) is available.


Wrap-up

Teams turn a solo workspace into a collaborative one without over-sharing. A team owns your apps and artifacts; five roles — owner, admin, developer, billing, viewer — let you give each person exactly the access they need; and scoped access narrows it further to specific resources. Invite by email, switch between the teams you belong to, and rely on the guardrails (owner-transfer, type-to-delete, immutable handles) to keep it safe.

Invite one teammate as a Developer and one as a Viewer, and you'll see the roles do their job immediately. Next, we'll measure what everyone's building with Analytics. Bring people in, and give each the right key — not the whole ring.

Build a Client Portal with FlowFn

Agencies, consultancies, and B2B teams all hit the same wall: clients want a single place to check their projects, invoices, and files — and emailing PDFs back and forth doesn't scale. A client portal fixes it, but building multi-tenant auth (each client sees only their own data) usually means real engineering. In FlowFn it doesn't: end-user sign-in, per-client data scoping, and a polished portal page are features you assemble, not code you write.

Build an Incident Alerting & On-Call System with FlowFn

When something breaks at 3am, the difference between a blip and an outage is how fast the right person's phone buzzes. You don't need a pricey incident-management platform to get there. FlowFn can catch an alert from any monitor, log the incident, page whoever's on call, escalate if they don't answer, and show the whole team a live status board — built from a webhook, a workflow, a Data Sheet, and a dashboard.

Build an Internal Ops Tool with FlowFn

Every company runs on a pile of small approvals — refunds, access requests, expenses, discounts — and most of them live in a shared spreadsheet plus a Slack thread nobody can audit. An internal ops tool fixes that: one private table your team works from, action buttons that approve or reject in a click, automatic notifications, and a queue board so nothing rots. FlowFn lets you build it in an afternoon — no internal-tools platform, no login wall to wire up.
