Group Admins vs Organization Admins
Group Admins can add admins and edit roles, but only in their groups.
Organization Admins can edit roles and permissions, and add or remove admins, to any group. Organization Admin is also the only role that can add new groups.
Organization Admins can:
- Edit Organization details
- Add & edit entity details
- Join any group in the organization
- Add new groups to the organization
- Add other admin to the organization and assign roles and groups
What are the Org admin roles?
Deel offers four unique roles for org admins:
- Organization Admin: The highest level of visibility and permissions. Can manage all aspects of the organization. This includes everything from members to billing and other organization-wide settings.
- IT Developer Admin: Can build apps using Deel's API or subscribe to webhooks. They can also set up any native integration.
- Integrations Admin - People: Can only set up HR, ATS, and SSO integrations for the organization. Some examples include Azure AD, OneLogin, and Okta.
- Integrations Admin - Bookkeeper: Can only set up accounting or expense integrations for the organization. Some examples include NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Xero.
